FORT WORTH, Texas – It has been said that some of the most beautiful women come from Texas. On Saturday, February 10, come learn about some of the strongest women from Texas. Join Sara R. Massey, editor of Texas Women on the Cattle Trails and several contributing writers, including Joyce Roach, for a symposium and luncheon from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.
Texas Women on the Cattle Trails shares insight into the lives of sixteen women that braved harsh weather, frontier Indians, stampedes and prairie fires while driving cattle from Texas during the second half of the 19th century. According to Massey, these women took to the trails for different reasons. Some chose to go, others had no choice in the matter. Some went for money while others went to gaze at the stars. While some worked hard and built ranching legacies, others spent their last dime chasing a dream. Despite the circumstances governing their decisions, each woman endured incredible hardship and struggles while out on the trail.
Texas Women on the Cattle Trails Symposium and Luncheon is from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 10 at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. The program costs $35 per person and $25 for National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame members. Admission includes:
