Sunday Speaker Series: Goodnight Loving Trail
February 3, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
“The Goodnight-Loving Trail ran from Young County, Texas, southwest to Horsehead Crossing on the Pecos River, up the Pecos to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, and on north to Colorado,” according to the Texas State Historical Association website. However, it could be speculated that some herders from the Chisholm Trail took a turn and joined the Goodnight-Loving Trail to travel northeast into Colorado or Wyoming.
Joseph E. Chance, Ph.D., is an author of several published books on history, newspaper columns and essays. A fifth generation Texan, Chance was raised in Austin before making the RGV his home. Now a resident of Edinburg, Chance is married with three daughters.
