I have heard the Trail referred to as Chisolm, Chisum, and Chisam. Are there three, or are they “feeders” or referencing ranch owners who participated?
There are variations on spelling, of course. Then there are different trails, referring to different men. John Chisum (portrayed by John Wayne in the movie Chisum) drove cattle from Texas into New Mexico, and also drove them north into Colorado — his trail is appropriately called the Chisum Trail. My Web site is primarily about the Chisholm Trail, used by Jesse Chisholm to haul freight, then followed by cattle herds as the best route through the Indian Nations. A Sampson Chisholm, it appears, had a short cattle trail in the Broken Arrow area of what is now Oklahoma.
