Description: 1866 Manuscript Document Recording Changes to Overland Mail Route to California Title: 1866 Manuscript Document Recording Changes to Overland Mail Route to California Publication: N.P. 1866 Description: 1866 Manuscript Document Recording Changes to Overland Mail Route to California, N.P., 17 November 1866, 7.75 x 12.5, 2 pp.Two leaves of fragile paper; ink and pencil manuscript writing bright, legible; one leaf partially detached along center crease, the other fully detached; minor edge wear; good condition. Undated document, dated 17 Nov. 1866, describing changes to the overland mail route to California "by a recent order of the Department." The "initial point" was changed from Atchison, Kansas to two "points of departure" - Junction City, Kansas, on the Union Pacific Railroad route eastern division, and Fort Kearney, Nebraska, on the Union Pacific Railroad route running from Omaha City, Nebraska. The document states that these two points "meet at Denver City, in Colorado Territory" and that mail bound for New York will arrive "in nineteen days from San Francisco - a day less than the shortest time ever made before the change was ordered." A great item for anyone interested in US Postal Service history. Good.
