Bobby, According to this same map, Rush Springs was yet another stage stop on the same stage route, and was sitting just a couple of miles east of the Oklahoma Territory line. At that time the town of Duncan was just "Duncan's Store" according to the map. William Duncan was an intermarried white-- married to a Chickasaw wife. Another map that I have shows the Chisholm Trail as running almost parallel to the border, but on the Indian Territory side. It looks as if the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad company later followed the old Chisholm Trail exactly. They were not so dumb! With all of the trail herds that were driven across it, it would have made an excellent railroad bed to lay the tracks on. jc ~~ Bobbie Beasley wrote: > I live in Stephens Co., OK.
