About this title

Synopsis

Short as the life of the Southern Overland Mail turned out to be (1858 to 1861), the saga of the Butterfield Trail remains a high point in the westward movement. This work offers a history and guide to retrace that historic and romantic Trail, which stretches 2800 miles from the Mississippi River to the Pacific coast.

Review

A fine mix of past and present to appeal to scholar and lay reader alike.-Robert M. Utley, author of The Lance and the Shield: The Life and Times of Sitting Bull ""A. C. Greene, writing in his colorful style, has brought the old trail to vivid life.""-Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee ""Greene has sensitively compiled a refreshing... survey of the longest stagecoach line in world history. His own travels... bring forth an exciting companion to anyone wishing to visit famous stations and stops along this vanished bastion of Americana.""-Library Journal
