The Oklahoma Centennial Chisholm Trail Cattle Drive of 2007 was 14 years in the making. The cowboys and cowgirls spent one month pushing cattle up the trail, many times on the exact original trail of 1867-81.
It's reality TV that missed its chance.
This book features the photographs of many of those people, along with many of their stories. It is a book of visual delight and stories they delight in sharing.
If you love the old west, history and are a lover of art, this is the book to add to your collection.
