by | Feb 23, 2023 | Features & Gunfights

Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight made history in 1866, and 120 years later Larry McMurtry made them legends. When Texas cattlemen Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving decided to partner up and drive a herd of 2,000 cattle from Newcastle, Texas, to Fort Sumner, New Mexico Territory, in the spring of 1866, they both had to have their cowboy crews round up and brand their cattle before heading West.
