Broadside, woodcut of a stage coach at the head. 14-1/8x11 inches. Barlow and Sanderson's Southern Overland Mail and Express Company was the last of the so-called transcontinental stage lines, a successor to the Butterfield Overland Mail Line, Holladay's Overland Mail and Express Company, and Wells Fargo's Great Overland Mail Route. Established by Jared L. Sanderson and Bradley Barlow during the Civil War, the Barlow-Sanderson Overland Mail Company first carried the mail and operated a stage line between Sedalia and Warrensburg, Missouri. By the end of the war, however, the company had expanded westward, and in 1867, the two entrepreneurs had established a route from Missouri to California over the Santa Fe Trail and held the government mail contract along the route from July 1866 to June 1870. This unrecorded broadside timetable lists scheduled stops in each direction from Hays City, Kansas to Santa Fe. At the bottom are the fees for passengers: $140 for the throughfare along the whole line, or $.25 per mile travelled, with a baggage allowance of 40 pounds per passenger. Old folds, separation at fold repaired with tape, minor thinned areas along fold without loss of text Broadside, woodcut of a stage coach at the head. 14-1/8x11 inches.
