    STOCKHOLMIA 2019 PRESENTATION The Transcontinental Pony Express 1860-1861 WEDNESDAY 29 MAY 2019 AT 15:00 WATERFRONT CONGRESS CENTRE LEVEL 5 AUDITORIUM PRESENTED BY Scott R. Tr epel © 2019. All rights reserved by Scott R. Trepel (author) and Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries, Inc. (publisher). May not be reproduced in any form without the express written consent of the publisher. INTRODUCTION The Transcontinental Pony Express 1860-1861 “News was received every ten days by pony. That coming by the Butterfield route was double the time; what came by steamship was from three to four weeks old when it arrived... It was the pony to which every one looked for intelligence; men prayed for the safety of the little beast, and trembled lest the service should be discontinued.” —Hubert Howe Bancroft, History of California ROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF THE MODERN WORLD, the concept of using horseflesh to provide the Ffastest means of communication is almost too remote to comprehend. And yet so many of us are familiar with the image evoked by the Pony Express—a lone rider galloping across long stretches of grassy plains and desert, climbing the winding trails of the Rocky Mountains, and fighting off the perils of the western frontier to deliver precious letters and news from one coast to the other. When the transcontinental Pony Express started in 1860, communication between the coasts required the physical transport of mail, either by ocean or land. Letters sent by steamship and rail across the Isthmus of Panama took at least three weeks to reach their destination. The alternative land routes were no faster and far less reliable.

  • The Oregon to California Trail
    Number 109 Fall 2018 The Oregon to California Trail Also Known As The Old Trapper Trail and the Siskiyou Trail By Dee Owens and Richard Silva The Oregon to California Trail, sometimes referred to as the Siskiyou Trail or the Old Trapper Trail, was a trail of commerce from the beginning, one of north and south directions. It was a trail between two territories or countries, British and American to the north and Mexican to the south. It holds the distinction of being the only early trail in northern and central California to have a history of early trapper and animal herding use prior to the main emigration period. It shares this distinction with the trails of the Platt River and other eastern trails. In the north, the trail began at Fort Vancouver, head- quarters of the Hudson’s Bay Company. The current towns of Portland, Salem, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Ashland were near the route in Oregon. In California the trail passed near Yreka, Dunsmuir, Redding and south through the Sacramento Valley to San Francis- Fort Vancouver—1845 co. The Oregon to California Trail developed from early game and Indian trails into a more obvious transporta- tion route due to the large numbers of horses and pack animals in the Hudson’s Bay Brigades going to and from California. Later the demand for animals in the Willamette Valley brought enormous herds of cattle, horses, and sheep over the route, further establishing its presence. The Siskiyou Mountains were first crossed from the south in 1826-27 by the Hudson Bay Company’s Snake Country Expedition, led by Peter Skene Ogden.

  • Chapter Seven Central Overland Mail, 1850-1861
    Chapter Seven Central Overland Mail, 1850-1861 Chapter Five described the opening of private and semi-private mail services over the Central Route. Starting in 1850, the U.S. Post Office Department began to extend its overland contract mail route system westward. Figure 7-1 shows the three segments which ultimately received mail contracts along the Central Route, and the alternate California route between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Figure 7-1. Figure 7-1. Map of the Central Route segments, consisting of Salt Lake City-Independence; Salt Lake City-Sacramento/Los Angeles; and Salt Lake City-Oregon. Salt Lake City (in today's Utah) was the central element in this route system, and no single contract linked the east and west coasts over this route until the start of the daily overland contract mail service in July 1861. This chapter will examine the various mail contracts along the Central Route in chronological order: between Salt Lake City and Missouri, between Salt Lake City and California, and between Salt Lake City and Oregon. Contract Route between Salt Lake City and Missouri Table 7-1 summarizes the mail contracts between Salt Lake City and Missouri that are described in this chapter. Detailed schedules and many actual trip times for these contracts can be found in Appendix D. __________________________________________________ 121 7 - CENTRAL OVERLAND MAIL, 1850-1861 _________________________________________________________ Table 7-1 – Mail Contracts between Salt Lake City and Missouri, 1850-1861 Dates of Operation Contractor Route No. Missouri Terminus Contracted Service Aug 1, 1850 to Jun 30, 1854 Woodson 4965 Independence Monthly in 30 days Jul 1, 1854 to Nov 30, 1856 Magraw 8911 Independence Monthly in 30 days Dec 1, 1856 to Jan 31, 1857 (none) Individual trip contracts Feb 2, 1857 to Jun 30, 1857 Kimball 8911 Independence Monthly in 30 days Jul 1, 1857 to Sep 30, 1857 (none) No service Oct 1, 1857 to Mar 30, 1858 Miles 8911 Independence Monthly in 30 days May 1, 1858 to Jun 30, 1859 Hockaday 8911 St.

Beehive Archive is a production of the Utah Humanities Council, provided to local papers as a weekly feature article focusing on Utah history topics drawn from our award-winning radio series, which can be heard each week on KCPW and Utah Public Radio. To Utah By Stagecoach The stagecoach is a legendary symbol of the American West, part of a transportation network that spanned the continent. How did Utah fit into this network? Traveling to Utah was difficult – to say the least – in the mid-19th Century. Major land routes between the east and west coasts skirted Utah to the north and south. The need for easier communication between Salt Lake City and the outside world drove the development of new transportation routes for both mail and passengers. The first such stagecoach service was started in 1858 by George Chorpenning using the Central Overland Route, a new trail that ran through central Utah and Nevada to California. The route was originally scouted in 1855 by Howard Egan, who used it to drive cattle, and was improved by US Army Captain James Simpson, who used it to supply Camp Floyd during the Utah War.

  • Heart of the West: San Francisco As a Postal Hub from 1849 to 1869
    HEART OF THE WEST: SAN FRANCISCO AS A POSTAL HUB FROM 1849 TO 1869 This exhibit examines the postal routes that connected San Francisco with the rest of the world in the 1849 to 1869 period. The 1848 California Gold Rush established San Francisco as the principal city on the American west coast, and San Francisco’s large natural harbor made it an excellent terminus for Pacific Ocean steamships. These factors quickly solidified San Francisco as the central point for postal operations in the American West. The period covered by this exhibit begins when San Francisco began formal postal operations in March 1849, and concludes in June 1869, shortly after the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Postal Routes Connecting With San Francisco Transcontinental water routes connected the east and west coasts of North America by Atlantic coast steamships running between New York and Latin America, and by Pacific coast steamships running between San Francisco and Latin America. These were joined by short overland routes via Panama, Nicaragua and Mexico. Transcontinental overland routes across the North American continent. Pacific Ocean routes connected San Francisco with foreign ports in the Far East, Pacific Rim, Hawaii, British Columbia and South America. Regional West Coast routes connected San Francisco with nearby regions. Local mail within San Francisco is not included in the scope of this exhibit. Pacific Ocean Routes Transcontinental Overland Routes *Far East & Hawaii *Chorpenning *British Columbia *Butterfield & OMC *South America *Pony Express Regional West Coast Routes Transcontinental Water Routes *Post Office *Via Panama *Gold Miners’ Expresses *Via Nicaragua *Expresses to Nevada Territory *Via Mexico Presentation The exhibit is organized by route.
