The Goodnight Herd and the Great Western Trail
The narrative traces Colonel Charles Goodnight and partner Loving as they launch the Goodnight cattle drive, creating the Great Texas trail to Colorado. It covers cattle prices, Indian threats, route challenges through the Panhandle and Raton Pass, and the subsequent ranching ventures with Adair in Colorado, including land deals and the famed Goodnight herd legacy.
