| Publisher Description: Brothers Ed and Jimmy are traveling with their family to a new homestead in Texas. Along the way, they come across a big surprise--a stagecoach carved out of rocks Dad explains to the boys that the carving is a monument to the Butterfield Trail, a former mail route which ran from the Midwest to California. After settling into their new homestead and helping Mom and Dad with chores, they return to the stagecoach to play, and end up on an adventure they never would have imagined |
Contributor Bio(s): Alcorn, Bill: - Bill Alcorn is a Native Texan who loves a good story, and if it's woven with history, all the better. When his grandchildren were young, Bill and his wife, Ruth-known as "Popcorn" and "Momcorn"-began making up stories to entertain the kids. It was through that tradition The Ride on the Butterfield Trail came to life. Bill was raised in the small north Texas town of Loving and later settled in nearby Graham, Texas, where he still lives. His favorite things are family, guns, coffee, and banana bread-not necessarily in that order. |
