West of the Mississippi, there is a region where west-bound trails such as the Santa Fe Trail are crossed by north-bound trails such as the Western Cattle Trail. This area of the Great Plains stretches across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. The history of the Plains Indians, explorers, traders, cowboys, soldiers, and settlers in this region is an incredible saga.
