FOLLOWING the discovery Of
II gold in California, came the de-
\ mand for some quicker means
Of communication between the East
and the mining camps scattered Ov-
er our American "Gold Coast" than
was possible through immigrant
trains or freighting outfits. This de-
mand, which became imperative and
eventually forced Congress to take
actiOn, was not that of the majority
of the people who might have been
interested in the project, and had a
certain amount of influence on legis-
IatiOn, but through the economic
need for a mail service. Eastern bust
men wished to share in the profits
of this FL Dorado, and desired to be
in closer touch with what was going
on there.
On eman tried to solve the prob
lem through the use of camels. His
name was Edward Fitzgerald Beale
He purchased camels and brought
them to the Southwest in 1855
where they were tried for a couple
of years. He found them wei

authority to call for bids to estab

northern route.
Professor PaXon, in his history
Of the American Frontier, says there
were no roads at this time. This
must have been an error, as the
Plate route was then taken by most
Of the northern emigration to Cali
fornia after the discovery of gold
there; and not alone by emigrants,
but by countless freighting trains,
carrying supplies to army posts, and
for Indian annuities, as well as for
the mining camps springing up along
the way. Professor PaXOn cites a
writer of 1850 as claiming there
were $4,000 freight wagons in con-
slant operation, at that time. Many
of these must have gone over the
Plate route.
In 1868 there was a far better
road either north or south Of the
Platte, than those we had known in
Ohio. We followed the north side
Of the North Platte. There were
stretches Of sand, to be sure, but
these were not so hard to traverse as
the deep mud of eastern roads
Lander's Cutoff, which we followed
later, was a new road through the
mountains, and wen here the diff
culties met were easily overcome. i
did not require a vast amount o
, travel to define a road across thu
2 plains. In the mountains, it wa
another story; but even here, b.
1858 there was assuredly what cOulC
l have been denominated a good road
1 OF course, it may not have been Xix,

than the average country road.

road in the SOS, or earlier, will bea

Francisco, the initial journey of tn
new line was accomplished in 2
days, IS hours and 35 minutes, a
impossible record to have made owe

have been.
The government receipts from tn.
- experiment were not so large as ha
been hoped, and the postmaster gel
y eral was doubtful of it's ever pro-
ing a success. He voiced his OpiniO
in these words: "Until a railrOa
