About this listen

In today’s world, if you wish to go from St. Louis to San Francisco, it is a little over 1700 miles and you can drive it in a day or four hours in an airliner. In 1858 that trip could take 576 hours on the first Butterfield stagecoach with the U. S. Mail which went through Mesilla on the way. It took 24 days, going about five miles an hour. And a writer documented that first journey.
