Laramie, Wyoming Territory, Summer of 1888 The stagecoach line from Laramie to Centennial is going to be closed, anticipating the building by Union Pacific of a railroad branch to this small town in the Medicine Bow Mountains. The last stagecoach is attacked by robbers. Deputy Sheriff Orville Maitland riding shotgun, jumps down and holds off the attackers, while the stagecoach turns back to Laramie. Sheriff Bill Monroe is bound to see this last stagecoach get to the mining town of Centennial and he wants to search for his deputy. Being aware of the risk to be attacked again, the passengers are determined to travel again. The sheriff has in his charge a variety of characters, a banker carrying the miners' payroll, a pastor, a gambler very fast with a gun, a flamboyant singer, with secrets of her own. Add to this the mail-order-bride of the deputy, freshly arrived from Baltimore, who has no idea what dangers are in the west, but insists stubbornly to go and rescue her future groom, that she'd never seen in her life. What the sheriff hopes to be a short thirty-five mile drive turns into a longer adventure for all of them. Historical Note - Medicine Bow Mountains were the only local source of timber for the Union Pacific railroad while it advanced west through south Wyoming. The company promised to build a branch to Centennial, since 1868 when the railroad had reached Laramie. It didn't happen until 1907. Until then, the stagecoach line was bought and operated by Augustus Trabing, a businessman from Laramie, who owned three stagecoach lines, to Centennial, Syblee, and Walden, Colorado. He also owned a large ranch, twenty miles north of Laramie, and a retail and wholesale store Trabing Commercial Company at the corner of Garfield and Second South Street in Laramie.

Stagecoach robbers evolved as a consequence of the discovery of gold or silver, or some other mineral treasure, and a town would "spring forth from the earth" overnight. Roads were soon built and stage lines began operating. A "pitching Betsy" would take out bullion and dust and bring in payrolls, always through country that was rough and isolated. The temptation to get rich quickly was too great for some, and the demand, "Hold! Throw out that treasure box!" was heard all too often in the Old West. Most robberies were never solved, but many robbers were caught, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced. This book includes a collection of 15-20 of the most thrilling stagecoach robberies from 1875-1905.

One journalist curious about life in the taverns along the stagecoach lines in Wisconsin and northern Illinois from the early 1800s until the 1880s was Harry Ellsworth Cole. While he could not sample strong ales at all of the taverns he wrote about, Cole did study newspaper accounts, wrote hundreds of letters to families of tavern owners, read widely in regional history, and traveled extensively throughout the territory. The result, according to Brunet, is a "nostalgic, sometimes romantic, well-written, and easily digested social history." At Cole's death, historian Louise Phelps Kellogg edited his manuscript, which in this case involved turning his notes and illustrations into a book and publishing it with the Arthur H. Clark Company in 1930.

California was the mining center of the West for half a century. Wherever precious minerals were found, road agents appeared to "mine the roads" of treasure being shipped out and payrolls being shipped in. The first recorded robbery of a stagecoach occurred in 1856, and the last in 1913. Over that period there were 458 stagecoach robberies, many with special characteristics such as a claim the robbers were Confederate soldiers, a murder, a gun battle, or a thrilling pursuit and capture. Surprisingly, there were many robberies in which the perpetrator remained unknown or in which was so little stolen the robber was not even sought out. This book gives all the details of those robberies taken from the contemporary newspapers and from a variety of other sources.
