A Tale of Frontier Travel and War Era Turmoil
An 19th century reminiscence recalls slower stagecoaches and gold era travel between St Louis and Port Bayard New Mexico, endangered by Indian threats, Crook era campaigns, and early mining towns like Pinos Altos. It details frontier life, lawless violence, and the rise of Silver City amid railroad expansion and military posts, with portraits of officers, miners, and settlers facing danger and opportunity.
