Oliver Nelson came west with his family in 1878 to Caldwell, Kansas, a raw town on the Chisholm Trail that boasted eighteen saloons. It was the day of the great cattle drives from Texas across Indian Territory to the Kansas railheads. Nelson recalls what it was like to travel that famous trail in 1880, just before barbed wire began to close in the range. For most of the next thirteen years he was a cook and cowboy with some big ranching outfits in Kansas, Texas, and Indian Territory, before settling on a plot of land in Oklahoma that he claimed during the Cherokee Outlet run in 1893.
