  • Kindred Spirits Charles Goodnight and His Biographer J. Evetts Haley
    Kindred Spirits Charles Goodnight and His Biographer J. Evetts Haley Edited by J.P. “Pat” McDaniel On a small rise in the remote Panhandle landscape outside of Amarillo sits a two- story wooden home, not at all spectacular to behold. But this is not just any home. This is the prairie residence of Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight—and Texas history happened here. A friendship forged from respect, mutual interests, and a shared sense of the importance of preserving the historical record, led author J. Evetts Haley and the trailblazing Goodnight to sit down inside of this house and record the stories of events that quite literally changed Texas. In 1925 the occupant of this prairie home, Charles Goodnight, was visited by a young collegiate historian from West Texas State Normal College in Canyon. J. Evetts Haley had been dispatched by his employer, the Panhandle Plains Historical Society, to secure an interview with the “Colonel.” This visit marked the beginning of a relationship that would impact the lives of both men. The story of those two kindred spirits has been best told by author B. Byron Price. He presented the Haley- Goodnight story in a book published in 1886 by the Nita Stewart Haley Memorial Library entitled Crafting a Southwestern Masterpiece: J. Evetts Haley and Charles Goodnight: Cowman and Plainsman. Price began the story of the friendship this way: On a hot summer afternoon in June 1925, a second-hand Model T rumbled down a short country lane in the Texas Panhandle. Pulling to a dusty stop beside an unpretentious white frame ranch house, an aspiring young historian unfolded his lean frame from behind the wheel and ambled to the door, unannounced.

  • The Cattle Trails
    The Cattle Trails Lesson Plan for 4th -7th Grades - Social Science and History OBJECTIVES The students will trace the development of the Texas cattle industry, beginning with the first trail drives of the 1850s, and the importance of cattle to Texas during and after the Civil War. TEKS Requirements: 1 - A identify major era in Texas History; 6 A & B - identify significant events from Reconstruction through the 20th century; 13B - impact of free enterprise and supply & demand on Texas economy. 6 A& B- development of the cattle industry ; political, economic, and social impact of the cattle industry 1 OVERVIEW & PURPOSE With the era of trail drives, beef was introduced to new markets across the country. A brief overview of how the Civil War affected ranchers and cattle; particularly how the longhorn roamed freely on the range and how this helped their population growth during the Civil War. After the war, The Great Trail Driving Era began, and the need for beef in the East caused the boom of the cattle industry. Building Background Ask the students if they can imagine taking a thousand cows up the highway, all the way from South Texas to Kansas. There are no cars and no actual roads - just dirt trails, the cows and horses. VERIFICATION AND INTRODUCTION How did Texans in the 1800’s do this? Why was it done? And who did it? In the days before barbed wire fences, cattle roamed freely on the open range. Ranchers used specific routes, known as cattle trails, to move their animals from grazing lands to market.
