	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The earliest known references to the Chisholm Trail in print were in the Kansas Daily Commonwealth of May 27 and October 11, 1870.
		It was, Wayne Gard observed, like a tree—the roots were the feeder trails from South Texas, the trunk was the main route from San Antonio across Indian Territory, and the branches were extensions to various railheads in Kansas.
		After trailing techniques were perfected, a trail boss, ten cowboys, a cook, and a horse wrangler could trail 2,500 cattle three months for sixty to seventy-five cents a head.

	Chisholm Trail. The Columbia Gazetteer of North America. 2000
		Chisholm Trail, route over which vast herds of cattle were driven from N Texas to the railheads in Kansas after the Civil War.
		Named for Jesse Chisholm, a part-Cherokee trader who, in the spring of 1866, drove his wagon, heavily loaded with buffalo hides, from N Texas through what is now Okla., to Wichita, Kansas; the S terminus was Abilene, Texas.
		The development of RRs and wire fencing ended the trail’s use, and it became the subject of Western folklore.

	The Cowboy - Chisholm Trail
		Jesse Chisholm's trail led from Texas to Abilene, Kansas, and driving a herd of half-wild Longhorns over it was a baptism by fire.
		The Chisholm and other cattle trails--such as the Western, Goodnight-Loving and Shawnee--were born of economic necessity, for there was a tremendous demand elsewhere in the country for Texas cattle.
		Soon Chisholm's name was applied to the whole route from central Texas at San Antonio to Abilene and Ellsworth, Kansas, along with the numerous offshoots of the main trail.

	The Chisholm Trail by John Rossel, February, 1936
		Thus most that is known concerning the Chisholm trail is from the stories of the trail drivers, whose memories are no doubt dimmed by time, and from various accounts dealing with the cattle industry which treat it only in an indirect manner.
		First, that the trail indicated by Captain Marcy followed very closely the natural topography of the land, indicating that Indians had early learned the easiest way to traverse the territory, and second, that the trail followed substantially the same path as the later Chisholm trail.
		Inasmuch as the cattle trail from Texas and the Chisholm trail were thus joined together in the Indian territory, the name Chisholm trail soon came to be applied popularly, if not accurately, to the trail throughout its entire length from its beginning in Texas to Abilene.

		The trail was not exact as the drovers often varied the route to avoid swollen streams or take advantage of good grazing areas.

	Chisholm Trail - KS-Cyclopedia - 1912
		It was established for the purpose of enabling the traders in the Arkansas valley to obtain wagon communication with the Indians in the Indian Territory, and the trail was used by these traders for years in the transportation of merchandise to tribes in the territory.
		Afterward the trail was used by Texas cattle drivers, and still later by the government in the transportation of supplies to Fort Sill, south of the Wichita agency.
		The principal points on the trail are Wichita, Clearwater, Caldwell, Pond Creek, Skeleton Ranch, Buffalo Springs, Mouth of Turkey Creek, Cheyenne Agency, Wichita Agency and Fort Sill." The Rock Island railroad now follows the Chisholm trail from Wichita to the north fork of the Canadian.
