Ride from Rawlins to the School From a 19th century travel sketch
A rambling station by stage describes a two horse canvas coach toward Bell Springs from Rawlins. It details the vehicle, its passengers, road hazards, and a digressive naturalist note about prairie dogs and flora. The narrator warns of a turn to Sand Creek and Whiskey Gap, then previews the route toward Fort W. Paul with comments on scenery and weather. The piece ends with Christmas song snippets and a brief civic note on Indian mission funds.
