Map of Stage Lines in Osage County, Oklahoma?

[beulahlandgirl]

Hi, I'm new to Treasure Net and love it! I would like to know if anyone knows of a stage line that ran through Osage County, Oklahoma, possibly from the cowtown of Elgin, KS to Pawhuska, OK. Was there ever a report of Jesse James robbing a stage in Osage County? Thanks for the info!

Shawnee Cattle Trail
The Shawnee Trail is the oldest of the major Texas Cattle Trails. It was in use from the 1840’s and lasted until 1872. It was first used as a migration route to Texas in the 1830’s and was known as the Texas Road. When it became known as the Shawnee Trail is not known.
It had three major branches and many feeder lines. The branches were the East Shawnee, the Middle Shawnee and the West Shawnee Trails. Baxter Springs, Kansas seems to be a hub of these trails.
