Ogallala, Nebraska

The Boot Hill Genre:  Today the set of all-seeing eyes that presides over the cemetery belongs to "The Trail Boss." His ghostly presence in Ogallala's pioneer cemetery commemorates the cattle drives that gave rise to the beef cattle industry of the Northern Plains and the town of Ogallala. Those cattlemen and the Union Pacific Railroad that served the industry sent the town soaring to a population of almost 500 by 1890. Boot Hill Cemetery. [2019]
