Have you ever used the saying "Get the heck outta Dodge"?
Did you know that "Get the heck into Dodge" is the slogan used by one of the greatest cow towns of
all time? Exploring the old cow town of Dodge City, Kansas was a great history lesson. We learned
about the cattle trails, railroads, Indian wars and the huge bison herds that used to roam the prairie
in western Kansas.
To memorialize many of these unique historical events, the downtown streets have statues and a
walk of fame highlighting many of the characters that passed through the area. One of note is
"Capitan", a Texas longhorn on display near the south end of Dodge City's old town area.
What are some of your favorite "western towns"?
