About the Tex Talk:
We're going to explore the life of one of the most influential figures of the American West—Charles Goodnight.

He was an innovator, trailblazer, conservationist, and problem-solver whose ideas helped shape the modern ranching industry. From creating the famous Goodnight-Loving Trail to helping save the American bison from extinction, his legacy extends far beyond the open range. Join me as we discover how one man's vision, resilience, and leadership left an enduring mark on Texas and the American West.re going to explore the life of one of the most influential figures of the American West—Charles Goodnight.
