The small Nebraska town of Ogallala was once one of the wildest of the West. It sat on the cattle trail all the way from Texas. Cowboys would come north to ship cattle east on the Union Pacific Railroad, and they were greeted with saloons, gambling halls, and wild women.
North Platte, Nebraska, may not sound too exciting but it’s got a lot of history, making it a decent place to stop for a day. In this entry, I’ll write about the things I did on my day in North Platte. Visit the town’s official website for more info on what to do or special events taking place.
