Hide Profile
Until the early 1880s, cattle driven up the Chisholm and Texas trails by Kansas and Texas cattlemen, were grazed on lands leased from the Cherokee Nation before being taken to the Kansas railheads. The Cherokee Nation realized considerable profits from these grazing leases until, for reasons unknown, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs ordered a halt. While the Commissioner's reasons still remain unclear, his actions raised important questions about sovereignty and economic development which remain alive today. These documents help to illuminate these issues.
