Forty Six Years Ago Mail Run Told by an Old Settler

The writer describes crossing trackless prairies with scarce provisions, losing horses and even nearly losing his scalp, and delivering mail on foot after 19 days. He reflects on land value, warns against speculative schemes, and notes a stock sale of James Taylor assets led by J. H. Ainxnyy, with Bowyer’s and Paser Bros. ads in Wesley, Iowa.
