The Last Cattle Drive (In Platte Canyon of the Jess Fitzsimmons Herd) shows ranchers of Shawnee, Colorado driving their cattle up Platte Canyon on Highway 285 in 1965, and on up to Geneva Park on the road to Guanella Pass, for the last time.  The cattle were annually put to pasture there in the summers.  Archive footage from 1965 shows ranchers including Jess Fitzsimmons, school teacher Richard Cochran, and other local participants, as well as cattle branding, wrangling, and vaccinations.  This version is narrated by Steve Hickel and includes subtitles.
