Colorful characters and dramatic incidents leap off the page in Hutton’s account of the epic, half-century struggle for conquest of the American Southwest...Show more Colorful characters and dramatic incidents leap off the page in Hutton’s account of the epic, half-century struggle for conquest of the American Southwest, from the 1859 capture of the Irish-Mexican boy Felix Telles (Mickey Free) to the pursuit of the Apache Kid in the 1890s, and beyond.

The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858-1861

The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858-1861

by Ely, Glen Sample

Book - 2016

The word “epic” scarcely does justice to Ely’s all-encompassing history of the Butterfield stage line from Colbert’s Ferry on the Red River to El Paso acr...Show more The word “epic” scarcely does justice to Ely’s all-encompassing history of the Butterfield stage line from Colbert’s Ferry on the Red River to El Paso across 740 miles of untamed frontier. Based on extensive field work and exhaustive research, Ely reconstructs the route and thirty-month history of the overland mail, describing people, places, and events along the way. Beyond his meticulous attention to detail, Ely’s significant contribution is placing the Butterfield line within the context of federal policy and political and cultural conflict along Texas’s advancing western frontier. This lushly-illustrated landmark study will endure as a classic account of southwestern transportation and settlement. Show less
