Pioneers Life and Hardships in Owens Valley Route
A reminiscence from the Bishop Register recounts how early Owens Valley travel evolved from isolated mail hops to regular stagecoaches. It highlights routes from Independence to Carson, delays, and costs, notable drivers like Hank Monk and P. P. Dow, and the harsh journeys across sand, snow, and mountains. The Dexter brothers built a toll road via Adobe, endured Indian tensions, and achieved a successful water well that aided travel though not profitably.
