- "Four rather complete contemporary accounts of trips taken over this historic stage route ... Two ... were written en route by newspaper correspondents, one a Mr. W. L. Ormsby of the New York herald, and the other Mr. J. M. Farwell of the Alta California of San Francisco. An official report to the Postmaster general was prepared by Mr. G. Bailey, a special agent of the department ... The fourth account was a narrative prepared by an English traveler, Mr. William Tallack."--Pref., signed Walter B. Lang.
