George Grant's Grave - Black Angus Cattle

A large limestone marker notes the burial site of George Grant. The name was unfamiliar until I read a plaque on the monument: he introduced the first Black Angus cattle (some fantastic steaks for us meat eaters) into the United States at Victoria, KS in 1873. His grave is surrounded by other Englanders who attempted to settle on the plains of Kansas. [K Charles, 07/06/2008]
