英语词汇chisholm trail的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Chisholm Trail. In the spring of 1866 Jesse Chisholm (ca. 1806–68), a halfbreed Cherokee Indian trader and government agent, drove his wagon loaded with buffalo hides through the Oklahoma territory to Wichita, Kansas. The wheels cut deep into the prairie, providing rut marks for a route that was to be- come the most important and famous of all western cattle trails, extending from San Antonio, Texas to Abilene and other Kan- sas railheads. The trail was used for more than 20 years after the Civil War, and 450,000 Texas longhorns were driven up it in 1872 alone. Remnants of the trail, celebrated in folklore and cowboy ballads such as “The Old Chisholm Trail,” still remain along the Santa Fe Railroad line.
