2010 is the 150th anniversary of William Tallack's exotic stagecoach journey through a dangerous, long-lost American culture and landscape. For a flickering moment in the history of the United States the world's longest stagecoach line ran along the 2,868 mile southern Butterfield Route from San Francisco to St. Louis, passing through Los Angeles, the Colorado Desert, Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, the Indian Territory, Arkansas, the Ozarks, and Missouri. For 1,000 days, between 1859 and 1861, U.S. Mail and passengers moved along this route-sometimes at the breakneck speed of 12 miles an hour. When America plunged into the horrors of civil war, the line was shut down forever. During the hot summer of 1860, for 23 days and 22 nights, a keenly observant British gentleman, William Tallack, rode the exhilarating and frenetic California Overland Express, obsessively recording the details of the people he met, the places he saw, and the important social issues of the day. On this wild rush of a journey, they never stopped for longer than forty-five minutes, barrelling along through jagged mountain passes, dusty plains, scorching deserts, and tangled, jungle-like forests. Tallack's Jolting Days is a valuable and unique glimpse into the everyday dangers and joys of frontier travel and is required reading for anyone interested in the rough and wild diversity of life found on the American frontier before the transcontinental railroad and a bloody Civil War changed everything.

This is the story of the antebellum frontier in Texas, from the Red River to El Paso, a raw and primitive country punctuated by chaos, lawlessness, and violence. During this time, the federal government and the State of Texas often worked at cross-purposes, their confused and contradictory policies leaving settlers on their own to deal with vigilantes, lynchings, raiding American Indians, and Anglo-American outlaws. Before the Civil War, the Texas frontier was a sectional transition zone where southern ideology clashed with western perspectives and where diverse cultures with differing worldviews collided. This is also the tale of the Butterfield Overland Mail, which carried passengers and mail west from St. Louis to San Francisco through Texas. While it operated, the transcontinental mail line intersected and influenced much of the region's frontier history. Through meticulous research, including visits to all the sites he describes, Glen Sample Ely uncovers the fascinating story of the Butterfield Overland Mail in Texas. Until the U.S. Army and Butterfield built West Texas’s infrastructure, the region’s primitive transportation network hampered its development. As Ely shows, the Overland Mail Company and the army jump-started growth, serving together as both the economic engine and the advance agent for European American settlement. Used by soldiers, emigrants, freighters, and stagecoaches, the Overland Mail Road was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern interstate highway system, stimulating passenger traffic, commercial freighting, and business. Although most of the action takes place within the Lone Star State, this is in many respects an American tale. The same concerns that challenged frontier residents confronted citizens across the country. Written in an engaging style that transports readers to the rowdy frontier and the bustle of the overland road, The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail offers a rare view of Texas’s antebellum past.
