O'Ntill, Neb., Dec«mb«r 25. 1947,—PAGE 9 Out of Old Nebraska — Columbus and Schuyler Rival for ‘Long Drive’ Capital In the years just following • the Civil War, a number of Nebraska’s new railroad towns did a lively business shipping Texas longhorn cattle to East- I ern markets. The longhorns were driven to Nebraska from the Lone Star state. This “long drive,” as the operation was called, furnishes much of the i actual background for the legends of the wild and w'ool- 1 ly west. The earliest Nebraska “cow towns,” of course, were those along the Missouri river, Brownville, Nebraska City, Plattsmouth and Omaha. As the eastern tier of counties filled with settlers, whose fences and farms made trail driving difficult and whose bitter opposition to having of longhorn cattle made the their fields trampled by herds drivers feel more than a little unwelcome, towns farther west, along the lengthening span of the Union Pacific rail road, began to replace the riv er towns as cattle - shipping i centers. Columbus and SchuyleT were the principal rivals for the honor of being Nebras ka's new cowboy capital, with Schuyler winning out. The year 1870 say Schuy ler develop from a sleepy prairie settlement into one of the most hustling towns in the state. Even so, Plattsmouth main tained its position for a year or two after Schuyler burst into prominence. It seems that the cowboys preferred to end their drive at Plattsmouth, be cause it had the reputation of being much more ‘‘wide open” than the Colfax county town. Nevertheless, the irresistable force of settlement soon drove the cowboys from Plattsmouth altogether, and, for that mat ter, from Schuyler, too. The Blue Valley gateway to Schuyler from the south, ex perienced a phenomenal in flux of settlers during the early 1870’s, and the year 1872 saw the last large herd of Texas cattle in Schuyler. Replacing Schuyler for a brief period as Nebraska’s cowboy capital was Kearney. It was from stock driven into Kearney that the first great Nebraska ranches were estab lished. Kearney, much more boisterous than Schuyler had ever been, was the state’s principal “cowtown” for about five years. Yet still another cowtown was to arise still farther wesL This was Ogallala. greatest and most long-lived of them all. The shift to Ogallala was brought about primarily by two, in.luences: (1) the irresistable flood of settlement, and (2) the extinction of the buffalo which made it necessary for the gov ernment to supply the western Indians with beef. For almost a decade, Ogalla la retained its role as a bustl ing cowtown. Then, with the ____ _ _ . collapse of the old range cattle industry, in the middle 1880’s it, too, collapsed. As the new cattle industry developed, though, Ogallala also developed again as an important cattle center -- | letters to the Editor Lincoln, Nebr Dec. 20, 1947 Frontier, O’Neill, Nebr.
