Cowboy on a Cattle Drive

          "Move them doggies, along!"   When you heard that call, you got your steer moving.  You'll be going North from Texas, delivering your beeves to the railroad head.  You will keep a journal, do 2 drawings, make a map, broadside, and an artifact.  You will find out about an invention that will change your life.  More important though is you will make a new friend.

Have fun learning everything you can about
life on the cattle drive trail.
