Wholesale Stagecoach 76 - Paperback

by Red Cloud Wolverton (Author), Margery Wolverton (Contribution by), Wendy Wolverton (Editor) On the bright, sunny morning of May 25, 1976, we hooked up six head of registered Morgan horses to a Concord stagecoach near the Pony Express stables in St. Joe Missouri. After taking on a load of passengers, mail, and a strongbox containing close to $ 9,000.00 worth of silver medallions, we headed west to relive 100 days of our country's history, from the period between 1858 to 1869, when the stagecoach was the utmost in high speed transportation from the end of the rails to the goldfields of California. It was the most thrilling and interesting 100 days of our lives. All in all, the trip went smoothly, but even at the best, we had our trials and troubles along the way. We drove close to 2000 miles, driving the horses and coach every foot of the way, and we arrived on schedule. It was a great trip and everybody enjoyed it very much. I'm sure the whole crew feels like I do - hoping that someday we'll figure out a way to do it over again. Number of Pages: 332 Dimensions: 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN Publication Date: April 04, 2022
