After
an early breakfast, the anonymous traveler and the deputy continued on their
way, the next morning.
The
article-writer practically gushes about Brown’s road, stating that Brown
deserved the community’s gratitude.
To
those who were in the business of transporting goods, however, the road’s poor
condition was still an issue. By 1874,
the use of Brown’s road had increased dramatically. This was due, in large part, to the need for
supplies in mining towns all over the south west.
Brown
could hardly ignore this, and his revenues from the toll road had grown to the
point where he finally decided to make substantial upgrades to the road.
