“No man ever came to my door cold and went away unclad: no one ever came to my door hungry and went away hungry.”
Jesse Chisholm, of Scottish and Cherokee ancestry, migrated with the Cherokees from Tennesse to Arkansas and later had a trading post at Council Gove on the North Canadian River near present-day Oklahoma City.
His freight wagons blazed a 220-mile trail from Wichita, Kansas to his store and, in 1866, when a Texas cattleman asked about the best way to drive a herd to the Kansas market, the cattleman was told "take Chisholm's trail."
That was all it took for the trail to get its name. By 1868, thanks to the efforts of Joseph G. McCoy to get a trail laid out to bring Texas herds to their railhead in Abilene, Kansas, the entire trail from South Texas to Kansas was called the Chisholm Trail.
Those Chisholm Trail cattle drives had become a living animal river.
