Download or read book The Butterfield Overland Mail written by Waterman L. Ormsby and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 241 pages. 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

Book Synopsis Before the Trumpet by : Geoffrey C. Ward
Download or read book Before the Trumpet written by Geoffrey C. Ward and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Pearl Harbor, before polio and his entry into politics, FDR was a handsome, pampered, but strong-willed youth, the center of a rarefied world. In Before the Trumpet, the award-winning historian Geoffrey C. Ward transports the reader to that world—Hyde Park on the Hudson and Campobello Island, Groton and Harvard and the Continent—to recreate as never before the formative years of the man who would become the 20th century’s greatest president. Here, drawn from thousands of original documents (many never previously published), is a richly-detailed, intimate biography, its central figure surrounded by a colorful cast that includes an opium smuggler and a pious headmaster; Franklin's distant cousin, Theodore and his remarkable mother, Sara; and the still-more remarkable young woman he wooed and won, his cousin Eleanor. This is a tale that would grip the reader even if its central character had not grown up to be FDR.

Book Synopsis The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858-1861 by : Glen Sample Ely
Download or read book The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858-1861 written by Glen Sample Ely and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the antebellum frontier in Texas, from the Red River to El Paso, a raw and primitive country punctuated by chaos, lawlessness, and violence. During this time, the federal government and the State of Texas often worked at cross-purposes, their confused and contradictory policies leaving settlers on their own to deal with vigilantes, lynchings, raiding American Indians, and Anglo-American outlaws. Before the Civil War, the Texas frontier was a sectional transition zone where southern ideology clashed with western perspectives and where diverse cultures with differing worldviews collided. This is also the tale of the Butterfield Overland Mail, which carried passengers and mail west from St. Louis to San Francisco through Texas. While it operated, the transcontinental mail line intersected and influenced much of the region's frontier history. Through meticulous research, including visits to all the sites he describes, Glen Sample Ely uncovers the fascinating story of the Butterfield Overland Mail in Texas. Until the U.S. Army and Butterfield built West Texas's infrastructure, the region's primitive transportation network hampered its development. As Ely shows, the Overland Mail Company and the army jump-started growth, serving together as both the economic engine and the advance agent for European American settlement. Used by soldiers, emigrants, freighters, and stagecoaches, the Overland Mail Road was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern interstate highway system, stimulating passenger traffic, commercial freighting, and business. Although most of the action takes place within the Lone Star State, this is in many respects an American tale. The same concerns that challenged frontier residents confronted citizens across the country. Written in an engaging style that transports readers to the rowdy frontier and the bustle of the overland road, The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail offers a rare view of Texas's antebellum past.

Book Synopsis The Butterfield Trail in New Mexico by : George Hackler
Download or read book The Butterfield Trail in New Mexico written by George Hackler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little can equal the excitement, danger and romance of a trip across the desert of southern New Mexico Territory in the late 1850s and early 1860s on the Butterfield Overland Mail coaches. George Hackler brings to life those who operated the many remote and lonely stations, drove the coaches, and were passengers on the hair raising ride across the barren tracks of Indian lands. The New Mexico division of the St. Louis-San Francisco transcontinental mail route has been largely ignored but Hackler personally visited each of the Station sites and walked much of the Trail. He coordinated 21st century field surveys with those made by historians in the 1930s, and incorporated descriptions from journals left by early travelers and pioneers. These journals provide a glimpse into the lives and times of those intrepid pioneers who opened the desert southwest of the United States for other travelers. More than 85 photographs, most in color and 70 maps and plans illustrate the past glory and preserve the current state of these historic sites along the longest single stage coach route in the world at the time.
