I believe the worst hardship we had on the trail was loss of sleep. Our day wouldn’t end till about nine o’clock, when we grazed the herd onto the bed ground. And after that every man in the outfit except the boss and the horse wrangler and cook would have to stand two hours’ night guard.

  • The Chisholm Trail
    From the poem “Cattle” by Berta Hart Nance In the decades following the Civil War, more than 6 million cattle—up to 10 million by some accounts—were herded out of Texas in one of the greatest migrations of animals ever known. These 19th-century cattle drives laid the foundation for Texas’ wildly successful cattle industry and helped elevate the state out of post-Civil War despair and poverty. Today, our search for an American identity often leads us back to the vision of the rugged and independent men and women of the cattle drive era. Although a number of cattle drive routes existed during this period, none captured the popular imagination like the one we know today as the Chisholm Trail. Through songs, stories, and mythical tales, the Chisholm Trail has become a vital feature of American identity. Historians have long debated aspects of the Chisholm Trail’s history, including the exact route and even its name. Although they may argue over specifics, most would agree that the decades of the cattle drives were among the most colorful periods of Texas history. The purpose of this guide is not to resolve debates, but rather to help heritage tourists explore the history and lore associated with the legendary cattle-driving route. We hope you find the historical disputes part of the intrigue, and are inspired to investigate the historic sites, museums, and attractions highlighted here to reach your own conclusions. 1835-36 The Texas Revolution 1845 The United States annexes Texas as the 28th state 1861-65 The American Civil War 1867 Joseph G.

We balance fertility, carbon friendly management and animal agriculture. We are continually surprised by nature's latest challenge - this year gypsy moths. Julie Rawson: NOFA/Mass Exec. Director & certified organic farmer at Many Hands Organic Farm since 1982 Jack Kittredge: The pruner, thinner, winer and manager of the farm’s esoteric fruit. Guerrilla Propagation Tactics for the Backyard Farm or Garden (Intermediate) Gardeners often feel compelled to copy conventional wisdom regarding planting dates, seeding protocols, and transplanting routines. But what happens when you break all the rules? Dan will describe his low-tech and opportunistic propagation and season extension tactics for growing quality year-round food from marginal space with little machinery, capital or fossil fuel. Daniel Botkin: Owner/operator of Laughing Dog Farm, a community-oriented permaculture backyard farm and teaching space in Gill, MA. Mushroom cultivation for the backyard (Introductory) We will discuss three accessible methods of growing mushrooms at home for your own supply or a small commercial operation. The three methods discussed will be log cultivation, Wine caps on woodchips, and oyster mushrooms on straw. We will explore how these methods of cultivation fit into your homestead or agricultural business. Willie Crosby: Willie has been growing shiitake, oyster, and lions mane mushrooms indoors and outdoors for 5 years.
