Q. Earlier you wrote that Post Road was part of the original mail route between San Antonio and Austin. Do your files have anything on the stagecoach robbery on Post Road?
A. In this case, earlier refers to 2006 when this Sunday’s column first appeared in the Daily Record. Most historic crimes in San Marcos were bank heists, but we did find information on this stagecoach hold-up in the ‘Robbery’ file in our San Marcos/Hays County Collection.
The file includes copies of stories that ran in the Austin American-Statesman as well as reports and updates that appeared in The West Texas Free Press between April 11 and Sept. 5, 1874.
