    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/524.2 Message Board Post: Tish, I am forwarding, with the kind permission of the sender, part of an email I received. Regards, David "Regarding the inquiry about the Jimtown Stage: reference the book "Boulder Then and Now" by J.B.Schoolland, copyright 1967 pg 191 contains a picture taken in 1966 of a section of "old Jimtown" Stage route, above highway at the junction of Left Hand Canyon Road. Another (old) photo - complete w/driver and a caption of: "Jamestown and Springdale Stage, on N. Broadway, in Boulder. Mr. Walter Mallory, later Professor of Engineering at the University of Colorado, and his father, drove this stage on daily trips, one each way, from 1902 to 1906. Photo taken in front of Mallory five-acre home on the northwest corner of Broadway and Kalmia. This plot later became the home of the Sutherland Nurseries. (Photo, courtesy Professor Walter Mallory)" I found a site on the web that listed Colorado stage routes. The closest match is: "Boulder City to Altona, Springdale, and Jamestown by coach and four."
