We have lost far too many such historic markers across this nation. Good to see one still preserved.
I just finished reading "The Western Cattle Trail." Back in the 1930's, there were many markers placed showing the various routes this and the Chisolm trail followed, from southern Texas to Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and all the way north to Montana, but most of them also disappeared.
We have lost so much history. Sad. What is sadder yet is there are so few of us left that care.

Wow thanks for the history COL Lee Flemming. I have been talking to my grandpa and we still own part of the land that was given to our family for fighting for Texas Independence. It's great to hear more history from my home state.
