Charles Goodnight rode bareback from Illinois to Texas when he was nine years of age. He was hunting with the Caddo Indians beyond the frontier at thirteen, launching into the cattle business at twenty, guiding Texas Rangers at twenty four, blazing cattle trails nearly two thousand miles beyond the frontier at forty, and at forty five dominating nearly twenty million acres of range country in the interests of order.
