The term CHISHOLM TRAIL END refers to the city of Abilene, which is a seven-letter word. Abilene was the final destination of the Chisholm Trail, a major cattle trail that ran from Texas to Kansas in the late 19th century. The trail was used by ranchers to drive their cattle to the railheads in Abilene, where they could be shipped to markets in the East. Abilene was an important hub for the cattle industry during this period and remains an important part of American history.
