Postal route plan links Colorado to Arizona resources
General Charles Adams, a special agent of the post office, urges a direct Colorado to Arizona postal line. He notes current routes via Santa Fe to Tucson and via San Francisco to Prescott are long and hazardous, with Apache threats and recent mail agent killings. The proposed Garland to Prescott leg shortens the trip to four days and aligns with growing settlements along the line.
