Is there a list of the cowboys who rode the Chisholm Trail?
Yes … and no. If you’re looking for a definitive list, it doesn’t exist to my knowledge. There is, however, a short list of cowboys — specifically, those who in later years joined the Old Time Trail Drivers’ Association, based in San Antonio, Texas. I do not have this membership list available to me. It can be found at the Texas Pioneer, Trail Driver and Texas Rangers’ Museum, 3805 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209. The phone number, according to a brochure I have, is 210-822-9011. A shorter list can be found in the index of The Trail Drivers of Texas, edited by J. Marvin Hunter and published by the University of Texas Press. It is among the books listed on my Recommended Reading page. Hunter put together memoirs written by members of the Trail Drivers’ Association for inclusion in the book.
