truly carry the meaning of that word,
no marching adjectives picture its

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
