Uncle Tex Walker assigns tenderfoots the task of researching a cattle trail and reporting back to the ranch. The document provides information on three historic cattle trails - the Chisholm Trail, which crossed Red River near Ringold, Texas and went north to Kansas; the Beefsteak Trail, which drove herds from eastern Arizona and western New Mexico to Magdalena; and the Goodnight Loving Trail, which went from Fort Worth southwest to the Pecos River south of Carlsbad, then north through Roswell to Fort Sumner. Uncle Tex congratulates the tenderfoots on completing their research and becoming official cowboys.
