About this listen

Host Jack Maddox explores how Abilene, Kansas—the wildest cowtown in America—chose civilization over cattle in 1871. Through petitions and council votes, farmers and merchants banned Texas cattle drives, ending their golden goose to build schools instead of saloons. This decision shifted the Wild West legend to Dodge City and transformed Abilene into Eisenhower's hometown.
