The Cowboy Regime
During the early 'seventies Grand Island and Kearney were the principal trading stations on the railroad, from which trade radiated to an immense territory. Cowboys would come from the Custer County and Upper Loup country and clear from the Niobrara region. Some pretty tough scenes took place, but compared to what he afterwards witnessed out around Ogallala and Sidney, Mr. Anderson considers that Hall County did not experience the bloody initiation into settled life that towns further west did.
