Boozman Seeks to Mark the Trail
U.S. Rep. John Boozman (R-AR) yesterday offered testimony before the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands on behalf of his legislation, H.R. 1266, the “Butterfield Overland Trail Study Act" which he introduced on March 1st. Boozman identified that the Butterfield Overland Trail provided a key connection between the nation's eastern regions and the burgeoning western frontier. He urged the subcommittee to approve his measure to require a study of the trail route for possible inclusion in the National Trails System. The Butterfield Trail was a catalyst in setting the path for America's westward expansion. The 2,800-mile trail was established by an act of Congress in 1957. It began at Saint Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee, and converged at Fort Smith before heading west through what is now Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
The resource study is intended to clarifying the history and location of the trail, to propose ways to educate youth about the historic value of the trail and to recommend its addition to the National Trails System. Boozman's bill contains strict private property protections. The bill is not intended to supersede private property rights or to coerce land owners into giving way to any government acquisition, markings or disruption of any kind." [Read More]
