He has taken a great interest in the near-forgetten movement of Texas cattle into New Orleans, with specific interest in the paths and people who undertook that journey. he presents a concise account of the East-bound cattle trade from the 1830s to the 1850s. This book includes a CD that contains a chart of the trail to New Orleans, individuals who lived along the trail, and a trascribed to text William Duncan journal.
