In the spring of 1873 the author made such a trip, riding on the five-year old rails of the Central Pacific to Palisades, the nearest stage departure for Nevada's southeastern mines. Sumner intimately describes his delightful ride to Pioche - the coach itself, its passengers, some of the stations and their inhabitants, roads and scenery enroute." (Paher).
