Book Synopsis Butterfield's Byway by : Melody Groves
Download or read book Butterfield's Byway written by Melody Groves and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Butterfield's mail service connected the East and West Coasts in one of the great entrepreneurial and pioneering stories of the American West. Until 1858, California's gold fields were reached only by horseback, wagon or ship around Cape Horn. Congress decided a 2,800-mile, twenty-five-day stagecoach line would roll from St. Louis to San Francisco. Former Utica, New York mayor Butterfield hired one thousand men and bought 1,200 horses, 600 mules and 250 wagons. Surveying the wilderness, he built roads and two hundred way stations, graded river fords and dug one hundred wells. Join author Melody Groves on a cross-country trip from Missouri to California, and all points in between, as she recounts the Butterfield Stage Line's amazing odyssey.

Book excerpt: Imagine yourself sitting next to the driver on a stagecoach for twenty-four hours. Along with the long ride, it might be blazing hot, a driving rainstorm, a blinding snowstorm, or freezing cold. That's the life of the Butterfield Overland Mail messenger in 1858. There were hostile Apaches and highway men, broken axles, sand storms, rushing rivers that were dangerous to ford, wild mules that had to be chased down and hitched, steep rocky mountain roads where passengers had to get out and walk in all kinds of weather and push the stage coach up to the top of the pass, and much of the stage station food served was spoiled and wormy. This was the life of the Butterfield messenger. Now you can take a step back in time, back 150 years, and witness life as it was in 1858. The author presents history, adventures, characters, and events of life on the Butterfield route from Missouri to California and presents an exciting 232-page easy to read book for almost any age.
