We finished it again last night. So gut wrenching, but amazing.

I'm curious, why did Kansas towns ban cattle drives?

I believe 1883 will forever remain in my mind, as it had awakened the inner child in me, as to the terrible hard ships those poor people endured....no real medicine to speak of, leaving everything behind, loosing loved ones, children, limbs and innocence, those last two episodes, literally made me sick to my stomach....just cannot imagine. Oh yes, and I'm sure there were happy times, but, those times traveling across the country in horse and wagons, must have been devestating...those people deserve our attention, how brave they were, how utterly humbled they must have been....

Probably because the railroads controlled most of the towns along their route and wanted to charge for transporting cattle?
