A Historical Coach of the Deadwood Line.

The denigens of the Eastern States of the Union are accustomed to regard the West as the region of romance and adventure. And, in truth, its history abounds with thrilling incidents and surprising changes. Every inch of the beautiful country has been won from a cruel and savage foe by danger and conflict. In the terrible wards of the border which marked the early years of the Western settlements, the men signalized themselves by performing prodigies of valor, while the women, in their heroic courage and endurance, afforded a splendid example of devotion and self-sacrifice. The history of the wagon trains and stage coahces that proceded the railway is written all over with blood, and the story of suffering and disaster, often it has been repeated, is only known in all of its horrid details to the bold frontiersmen, who, as scouts and rangers, penetrated the strongholds of the Indians, and, backed by the gallant men of the army, became the arant couriers of Western civilization and the terror of the red man.
