Description
Along The Bozeman Trail. I�ve always loved the western genre and when I decided that my 2016 entries in the Old West Art show would be about trail herds, I started researching. After the Civil War, untended herds in Texas multiplied quickly as Union blockades cut the state off from market outlets. Four-dollar-per-head cattle in Texas could bring $40 to $50 apiece in eastern markets. The Bozeman Trail was an overland route connecting the gold rush territory of Montana to the Oregon Trail. The overland Bozeman Trail followed many north-south trails used by Shoshone, Arapaho, and Lakota nations since prehistoric times to travel through Powder River Country. The Bozeman Trails most important time was from 1863-1868. It was more direct and had better access to water than other trails into Montana. Bozeman and Jacobs's most significant role was to develop the trail so that it was wide enough for wagons. But the route had a major drawback�� it passed directly through territory occupied by the Shoshone, Arapaho, and Lakota nations who were tired of the flow of settlers through their territory. Since many of these travelers showed little respect for the rights of the Native Americans, the movement triggered their antipathy and caused violence. The U.S. Army embarked on several military campaigns against the Indians to try to control the trail. Because of its link with frontier history and conflict with American Indians, some sections of the trail are listed on the National Register of Historic Places
