Buffalo Bill and the Overland Mail, or, where crooked trails meet, by Howard W. Erwin is one of a series of books by Howard W. Erwin--and the only one of Erwin's books in the Bullis Collection. This Bullis book was published in 1916 by Street & Smith (New York), and some of the other titles in this series include (all titles beginning with "Buffalo Bill's") ... Dance with Death, ... Diamond Mine, ...Hidden Gold. So if you're a Buffalo Bill fan and you're looking for a different kind of read, we recommend ...the Overland Mail.
That term "overland mail" reminded us that the Pony Express began it's 18 months of service between St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California on April 3, 1860. And until the telegraph was established, it was the main source of communication between the east and west. Average time for a message going between the east and west coasts was about 10 days.
So if you're feeling a bit nostalgic and sorta weary of the pace of modern life, the Bullis Room is a great place to "get away" for a while, to sit and enjoy a good book while letting the rest of the world speed by. We hope you'll stop by sometime.
