Book Synopsis Nebraska's Cowboy Trail by : Keith Terry
Download or read book Nebraska's Cowboy Trail written by Keith Terry and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago & Northwestern railroad’s “Cowboy Line” was active for more than one hundred years—delivering gold from the Black Hills, transporting livestock from the ranches in the West, and carrying passengers through northern Nebraska. Now the 321-mile-long rail line is being remade into Nebraska’s first state recreational trail which, when completed, will become the nation’s longest rail-to-trail conversion. Nebraska’s Cowboy Trail: A User’s Guide is the essential companion for anyone planning to hike, bike, or ride horseback on the Cowboy Recreation and Nature Trail, which currently extends from Norfolk to Valentine and will eventually stretch all the way to Chadron. The trail runs through numerous communities, accommodates multiple uses, and provides an up-close look at the ecology of the Great Plains—a view too easily missed when speeding by in a car. Keith Terry’s guidebook enhances appreciation of the trail’s natural advantages with descriptions of the region’s flora and fauna and with pointers for food, lodging, and camping. He also provides brief narratives about historical events that occurred along the route. This guide illuminates a historical corridor of the Great Plains and will heighten the trail user’s experience.

Book Synopsis Nebraska's Cowboy Rail Line by : Keith Terry
Download or read book Nebraska's Cowboy Rail Line written by Keith Terry and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nebraskas Cowboy Line existed for nearly 125 years and covered more than 400 miles as it made its way across the northern portion of the state. The construction of the rail line, which started in 1869, was the impetus for the establishment of many towns, and even the relocation of some, along the route. The line was employed to transport miners to the Black Hills during the gold rush of the late 1800s, it carried thousands of Irish and German immigrants to the largely unsettled area, and it allowed politicians to meet their constituents. It also was used to deliver necessities, amusements, technology, and new innovations to the states citizenry.

Book Synopsis From Rails to Trails by : Peter Harnik
Download or read book From Rails to Trails written by Peter Harnik and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If, as Wallace Stegner said, the national park is “the best idea we ever had,” the rail-trail is certainly a close runner-up. Part transportation corridor, part park, the rail-trail has revolutionized the way America creates high-quality, car-free pathways for bicyclists, runners, walkers, equestrians, and more. It was only a few decades after railroad barons had run roughshod over America’s economy and politics that they began to shed nearly one hundred thousand miles of unneeded railroad corridor. At the same time, bicyclists were being so thoroughly pushed off ever-more-intimidating roadways they came close to extinction. Through political organizing and lawyerly grit, an unlikely, formerly marginalized advocacy arose, seized on seemingly worthless strips of land, and created a resource that is treasured by millions of Americans today for recreation, purposeful travel, tourism, conservation, and historical interpretation. From Rails to Trails is the fascinating tale of the rails-to-trails movement as well as a consideration of what the continued creation of rail-trails means for the future of Americans’ health, nonmotorized transportation networks, and communities across the country.

Book Synopsis Back Trail of an Old Cowboy by : Paul E. Young
Download or read book Back Trail of an Old Cowboy written by Paul E. Young and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book, Mr. Young remembers herding cattle and meeting up with old outlaws of the Wild Bunch on the Castle Dale range in Utah; riding roundups when the Yellowstone River country was all open range; having a tooth pulled by a dentist who put a kneeagainst his shoulder for purchase. He remembers turning strangers into friends, and he remembers their names, from Cass Hite, hiding out in the canyons, who helped him swim six horses across the Colorado River, to Jack Moran, the old-time rancher who collected the bets when the youthful Mr. Young beat Jack Dempsey at wrestling out behind a bar in Price, Utah. He remembers the bets he won riding outlaw mustangs; he recounts rodeo experiences and organizing a quarter-horse polo association, too, in Terry, Montana. Few people living today knew the era of the open range and the men and women who occupied its vast spaces. Rarer still is the articulate person like Paul Young who can--vividly, authentically, and in frank good humor--recall those days for the rest of us.

Book Synopsis We Pointed Them North by : E.C. "Teddy Blue" Abbott
Download or read book We Pointed Them North written by E.C. "Teddy Blue" Abbott and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. C. Abbott was a cowboy in the great days of the 1870's and 1880's. He came up the trail to Montana from Texas with the long-horned herds which were to stock the northern ranges; he punched cows in Montana when there wasn't a fence in the territory; and he married a daughter of Granville Stuart, the famous early-day stockman and Montana pioneer. For more than fifty years he was known to cowmen from Texas to Alberta as "Teddy Blue." This is his story, as told to Helena Huntington Smith, who says that the book is "all Teddy Blue. My part was to keep out of the way and not mess it up by being literary.... Because the cowboy flourished in the middle of the Victorian age, which is certainly a funny paradox, no realistic picture of him was ever drawn in his own day. Here is a self-portrait by a cowboy which is full and honest." And Teddy Blue himself says, "Other old-timers have told all about stampedes and swimming rivers and what a terrible time we had, but they never put in any of the fun, and fun was at least half of it." So here it is—the cowboy classic, with the "terrible" times and the "fun" which have entertained readers everywhere. First published in 1939, We Pointed Them North has been brought back into print by the University of Oklahoma Press in completely new format, with drawings by Nick Eggenhofer, and with the full, original text.
