a. True
Cowhands and cattle drives were essential to the success of the beef industry in the late 19th century. As cattle were transported from ranches to markets, cattle trails were established to connect these ranches to the railroads. Towns naturally developed along the railroad lines to provide services and amenities to cowhands and those involved in the cattle industry.
a. True
To determine if the statement is true or false, we need to understand the concept. Cattle trails were paths used to transport cattle from ranches to railheads, where they could be loaded onto trains for transport to markets and slaughterhouses. These trails were typically established to connect ranches to railroads, thus enabling the transportation of cattle.
In this case, the statement is saying that cattle trails connected to the railroads and towns developed along railroad lines to offer services to cowhands.
To verify if this statement is true or false, we would need to examine historical records or research about cattle trails and their relationship to railroads and towns. We could look for accounts of cattle trails being used to transport cattle to railroad stations and evidence of towns developing in proximity to these areas to cater to the needs of the cowhands working on these trails. By examining historical sources, we can determine the accuracy of the statement.
However, without access to specific historical records, it is not possible for me as an AI to determine the veracity of this statement.
