Frontier Coaches

by local Mt. Pulaski manufacturer:  Don Leonard

Mudwagon (upper-right) hauled descendants of our town's 3 founders:
Jabez Capps, George Washington Turley and Dr. Barton Robinson - StageCoach hauled members of
nearby Elkhart Historical Society who "re-enacted" a ride from their town to our town to be a part of Saturday's Logan County Day

Stagecoach price was quoted by Don for producer Mark McDonald of local WSEC PBS TV's Illinois Stories to be $23,500.00

An in-depth interview of Don by Mark appeared on Illinois Stories during the week of June 26th, 2011
