Longhorn origin debated by early Texas settler tale
Reuben Washington Gray of Cherokee, Texas challenges the idea that the Longhorn cattle originated in Texas. He argues the breed was brought from Louisiana and Mississippi in the early 1800s, while the first Texas cattle were wild black stock with short horns. Gray recalls pioneer life, cattle drives, and encounters with bears, panthers, and Cherokee conflicts shaping Texas settlement.
