Nebraska Historical Markers - The Texas Trail

Note that the historical markers I’ve chosen for this series are not in any order. There is no theme other than Nebraska history and my particular interest in them. Note also that I am not a historian nor I am an old West buff. Consider that a disclaimer that you are to not use these articles for reference. I will try to provide links to reference sites whenever possible.

Texas Trail Marker Text

After the Civil War, herds of Texas cattle were driven north to marketing points in eastern Nebraska, but settlement by homesteaders forced the trail further west each year.
