About this product
Product Information
This is the classic firsthand account by Waterman L. Ormsby, a reporter who in 1858 crossed the western states as the sole through passenger of the Butterfield Overland Mail stage on its first trip from St. Louis to San Francisco. Ormsby's reports, which promptly appeared in theNew York Herald, are lively and exciting. He describes the journey in close detail, giving full accounts of the conveyances, the accommodations, the other passengers, the country through which they passed, the dangers to which they were exposed, and the constant necessity for speed. Serving as a frontispiece is a fold-out reproduction of the earliest known through timetable of the Overland Mail Company.

My item came greatly packed! The book did have a rip or glue becoming undone on the corner but the seller’s pictures made that clear and I knew that before purchasing, all it took was about 5 minutes work to fix! Overall, very satisfied with my purchase! Thank you for selling this at a steal price and quick shipping! Would recommend this seller 100%!!
