Life at the End of the Texas Trail

Our revue focuses on Ogallala, which had a reputation as a rough-and-tumble, Wild West town. This reputation may have come from the 17 violent deaths recorded during the cattle boom.

The town itself had a population of 114 people in 1880, according to the census. However, it grew to many times that number from spring to fall each year as the cowhands, cattle barons, saloon operators, gamblers, dance hall girls, and tradesmen came to town.

Tiny Ogallala swelled to bursting each year when cowboys from west Texas ranches brought cattle to the Union Pacific Railroad’s Spotted Tail Agency for shipment to Chicago. Ogallala has the distinction of serving as the end of the Western or Texas Trail for cattle drives. In 1875, cowboys drove more than 75,000 head of cattle to Ogallala, and that number jumped to 100,000 the following year.
