VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED COVER FROM ARIZONA TERRITORY TO SOUTH AMERICA.
This cover, originating in Prescott, was carried on the Hardy Toll Road (Route 17201) to Hardyville, then to San Bernardino and Los Angeles. From California it was carried by American steamer to Panama City, then by British steamer to Tumaco, New Granada (Colombia), and finally overland to Barbacoas.
James Scott was one of the prospectors who ventured to Barbacoas, the site of a small-scale gold rush in 1865. One of the prospectors reported it as a great disappointment in the Daily Alta California (Apr. 28, 1866). (Image)
