Old Yeller takes place in Texas in the late 1860's right after the
Civil War. Papa had to take the cattle to market in Abilene, Kansas (approximately 625
miles away).
How many miles is it from Mason, Texas to Abilene, Kansas?
How many miles could a herd of cattle travel in one day?
At this rate how many days would it take Papa to reach Abliene?
If he can travel twice as fast on the return trip without the cattle
how long would it take him to get from Abilene to Mason?
Using this information how long would the round trip be?
