This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This HARDCOVER version of "Butterfield's Overland Mail Co. Stagecoach Trail Across Arkansas: 1858-1861" by Bob Crossman tells the story of the Overland Mail Company stagecoaches which carried passengers and mail west from Memphis and St. Louis to San Francisco through Arkansas. The Overland stagecoaches and stage wagons traveled day and night, completing the 3,293 mile journey is less than twenty five days. This book pays special attention to each of the twenty Overland Mail Company stations spread across Arkansas. The stations were typically located about fifteen miles apart. The stagecoaches or stage wagons would stop for ten minutes at each station for the quick change of horses. Twice a day the stage would stop at a station for about forty minutes, allowing the passengers to have a moment of rest and purchase a quick meal while the driver obtained a fresh team of horses or mules.

Book excerpt: Butterfield's Overland Mail Company stagecoaches rolled across Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri one hundred and sixty five years ago as they connected with San Francisco. Now that the route is a National Historic Trail, it seems appropriate to remember what that experience was like for passengers.

Download or read book Butterfield s Overland Mail Co as REPORTED in the Arkansas Newspapers of 1858 1861 written by Bob Owen Crossman and published by . This book was released on 2022-04 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newspapers of Arkansas did an amazing job of covering the news around Butterfield's Overland Mail Company. Frequently the newspaper editors would draw their information from their exchange of newspapers across the country to bring to their subscribers the most accurate and comprehensive description of facts as possible. This book greatly expands my two previous books, "Butterfield's Overland Mail Co. Stagecoach Trail Across Arkansas 1858-1861," and "Butterfield's Overland Mail Co. use of STEAMBOATS to Deliver Mail and Passengers Across Arkansas 1858-1861." While in these two previous books, I only included brief excerpts from the Arkansas newspapers of 1857-1861, in this book I have let the newspaper reporters tell the story in their own words. It has been difficult, but I have limited my interpretive comments to a brief title I've assigned each article. In this way, today's reader can immerse themselves into the world of the citizens of Arkansas. While the purpose of my research of the Overland Mail was to satisfy my personal curiosity, hopefully this collection of my research will also make a contribution to the efforts of officially recognizing the route of Butterfield's Overland Mail Co. as a National Historic Trail.

Also, to include additional information and artifacts from US transcontinental mail carried immediately before and immediately after the existence of Butterfield's Overland Mail Co. In most instances within his previous three books on Butterfield's Overland Mail Co., he focused primarily on the Arkansas route. This volume, by contrast, expands to focus on the entire route of the Butterfield. Also, by contrast, this volume focuses on Butterfield's presence on the Southern Ox-bow Route and later on the northern Central Route. In addition, this volume covers the entire time period of the Overland Mail Company's contract with the postal system: 1858-1864.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the classic firsthand account by Waterman L. Ormsby, a reporter who in 1858 crossed the western states as the sole through passenger of the Butterfield Overland Mail stage on its first trip from St. Louis to San Francisco. Ormsby’s reports, which soon appeared in the New York Herald, are lively and exciting. He describes the journey in close detail, giving full accounts of the accommodations, the other passengers, the country through which they passed, the dangers to which they were exposed, and the constant necessity for speed. “A most interesting account of the first westbound trip of an overland mail stage.”—Southern California Historical Society Quarterly “The best narrative of the trip and one of the best accounts of western travel by stage.”—Pacific Historical Review “If other travelers had been as careful and observant as Ormsby we should know vastly more about our country and the ways of our fathers than we do...The book is fascinating. It will prove interesting to all who care for travelogues, the history of the West, and particularly to those interested in our economic history.”—Journal of Economic History
