| I think the "Cimarron" or "Cimaron" was a vast area between the Arkansas and the Canadian River. That desert was also called the Cimarron in many books. IE "Across the Cimarron" Marshal George Bolds' Own Story of His Life and Adventures in the Cow Towns of the Wild West.
I have not read it but I don't think this book mentions the town Cimarron or the Cimarron crossing, but calls the vast area from here to New Mexico "The Cimarron"
Points of Rock was a popular stop, it is in the Cimarron Grass Lands located near Elkhart. That area was also known as Cimarron.
Lots of Cimarrons back then. |
