Two useful sources

A couple of sources that might prove of interest.

This one:

gives details of all the stagecoach companies operating in our period. Particularly handy for trying to grasp who owned what, and what financial interests were involved.

And this one:
tinyurl.com/2dlyf8
is a segment of the American Memory site that I, for one, hadn't known existed -- Three Centuries of Broadsides and Other Printed Ephemera. Haven't studied it in detail as yet -- there's acres of it -- but already have found a denunciation of Sheridan's policy in New Orleans, and a 4-page obituary for Hamilton. There's bound to be other relevant stuff, I should think.

Thank you Elizabeth. The information you have provided is both interesting and enjoyable to read.

Elisabeth! This is incredible stuff! It is going to take a lot of time to wade through some of this but what a wonderful time it will be!

It is fun stuff, isn't it! Thank God for the internet, is what I say ...
