Its title places this view at Drovers Cottage, a hotel for cattle drivers at McCoy's stock yard in Abilene, Kansas, 447 miles west of St. Louis. After the railroad reached Abilene in 1867, Joseph McCoy's stockyards turned the small town into a major shipping point for Texas herds driven north over the trail. The card belongs to a stereograph series on the Union Pacific's Eastern Division, yet its subject tags list California and Donner Lake, so the title is the more reliable guide to where it was taken.
