BEFORE
THE RAILROADS OPENED IN THE MID TO LATE 1830s, STAGE WAS THE
MAJOR MEANS OF OVERLAND TRAVEL. SCHEDULING TIMES FOR THE VARIOUS
TYPES OF STAGES WERE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
COULD ALTER ITINERARIES FOR WEEKS. RESERVATIONS WERE RARELY
MADE AHEAD OF TIME, AND TRAVELERS HAD TO ALTER PLANS DAILY
TO GET TO WHERE THEY WANTED TO GO.
IN HIS
BOOK "ROUGHING IT", MARK TWAIN DESCRIBED STAGECOACH
TRAVEL IN 1861 WHEN HE JOURNEYED WESTWARD WITH HIS BROTHER
ORION, THE NEWLY NAMED SECRETARY OF NEVADA TERRITORY. UNLIKE
THE IMAGES STAGE TRAVEL OFFERED BY MOST MOVIES, MARK TWAIN'S
REALISTIC REPORTS DESCRIBE PASSENGERS CONFINED TO AN EXCEEDINGLY
SMALL SPACE, CRAMMED TOGETHER WITH MAILBAGS, JOSTLED BY EVERY
RUT AND BUMP, AND COVERED BY A THICK LAYER OF DUST.
YET DESPITE
THESE FAR FROM HOSPITABLE CONDITIONS, THE STAGECOACH, FOR
ITS TIME, OFFERED THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN TRAVEL, CARRYING
ITS CAREENING PASSENGERS ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS AT SPEEDS
GREATER THAN ANY OTHER TRANSPORT AVAILABLE. |
