Fifty Famous Frontiersmen and their legacies in Texas and frontier wars
A historical sketch profiles Charles Goodnight as a trailblazer of the Goodnight and New Goodnight trails and Palo Dura Dodge City route. It notes his Texas Panhandle roots, cattle empires, and buffalo herd fame, alongside a recounting of Captain Cresap tied to Logan’s killings and Dunmore’s War. The piece blends frontier achievement with cautionary memory of colonial-era violence and misattributions.
