The Butterfield Overland Mail (and Stagecoach)

I discovered that the town of Fort Davis out in the Davis Mountains of west Texas was also on the stagecoach route. And further, on hiking trips in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park I learned of a place within the park that was known as "Pine Springs" that, too, was a stop.

I am the author of "The Butterfield Overland Mail (and Stagecoach) article (actually there is a series of four). I would like to make one slight correction. The location of the 'Springs' within the Guadalupe National Park was incorrect. The actual name was "Pinery". After this spring ceased to flow water to the surface, the Butterfield Overland Mail Route was then rerouted through Fort Davis on it's journey to and through Franklin, TX (El Paso).
