Test your knowledge with a hand-picked multiple-choice question.
Many changes came to a state when trails, fences, trains, and markets started shifting at different times. Ranchers moved animals, and later some people shipped them, and newspapers printed stories about cowhands and storms. A museum display showed a lariat and a faded hat, which looked old. Towns grew, and sometimes herds crossed rivers or stopped at railheads, and some folks argued about open range or barbed wire. There were also fairs with chili and music. A friend said longhorns can be calm or stubborn. Prices went up and down, and weather made differences. I saw a photo of a windmill and windmills pump water. Roads today are busy with trucks. All of this seems connected to work and travel in the past in Texas.
