Storm and Stampede on the Chisholm

In 1883 young Hubert Collins traveled the Chisholm Trail to a ranch in Indian Territory. For the next fifteen months he lived at the Red Fork Ranch on the banks of the Cimarron River at present-day Dover, Oklahoma. It was the boy’s “great land of romance,” a dusty empire of cattle and rattlesnakes owned by his older brother, Ralph. With plenty to learn from rangy cowboys in residence and frontier characters passing through, Hubert enjoyed more adventure than he would ever know again. He befriended Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians who stopped by the ranch, and he visited them at the Darlington Agency. In Storm and Stampede on the Chisholm, first published in 1928, he recorded his excitement at being exposed to an elemental way of life soon to be gone.

Warpath and Cattle Trail

Warpath and Cattle Trail is a middle-aged man's recollection of a year spent with his older brother at Red Fork Ranch, between the Reno and Chisholm trails in Indian Territory. Hubert E. Collins was eleven at the time, and the experience impressed him mightily.Collins counted among his friends the Cheyenne chief Little Robe. He spent considerable time with the Cheyennes, in their lodges and as witness to their ceremonies, including the Sun Dance. In 1928, Collins made a case for Indians as human beings that would not occur in popular culture for another two decades - in fact, Collins took Hollywood to task more than once in this memoir, not only with regard to its treatment of Indians but also in the matter of its portrayal of cowboys and other "frontier" types.Warpath and Cattle Trail provides a social history of the heyday of the nineteenth century frontier, replete with cattle drives, dog feasts, fiddle-playing gunmen, discussions of burial practices in coyote country, and stories of men who were shot between the eyes and arose and walked - well, stumbled - away.
