By 1863 the name was changed to the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston. In 1864, by an act of the Legislature of Kansas a great deal of lands were granted to the L,L&G, the most prized of which was the Neosho Valley of Southern Kansas, ceded by the Osage people. By 1871 the line had finally extended to Coffeyville and the L.L.&G began heavily promoting their lands for sale. Major B.S. Henning, a notable veteran of the Civil and Indian Wars and a driving force in the Kansas Railroad business served as General Superintendent. Hennings efforts to promote these lands for sale were great. According to McCoys, Historic Sketches of the Cattle Trade southern drovers of Texas were courted with fervor by Henning and the L,L&G, and the great herds were coaxed onto grazing grounds of the Neosho Valley to be shipped to Kansas City.
