In 1858, the Butterfield Overland Mail carried the first transcontinental post from St. Louis (& Memphis) to San Francisco in under 25 days. Through most of this period, the Chiricahua Apache offered little resistance. Raiding increased dramatically in 1861 as a nation began to rend itself apart and the people of the region were faced with confusion and difficult choices and the mail often went through despite raids by Confederates, Mexicans and Apaches.
