520    The overland trails in the 1860s witnessed the creation of
       stage stations to facilitate overland travel. These 
       stations, placed every twenty or thirty miles, ensured 
       that travelers would be able to obtain grain for their 
       livestock and food for themselves. They also sped up the 
       process of mail delivery to remote Western outposts. 
       Tragically, the easing of overland travel coincided with 
       renewed conflicts with the Cheyenne and other Plains 
       Indians. The massacre of Black Kettle's people at Sand 
       Creek instigated two years of bloody reprisals and 
       counterreprisals."Amid this turmoil and change, these 
       daring women continued to build on the example set by 
       earlier women pioneers. As Harriet Loughary wrote upon her
       arrival in California, "[after] two thousands of miles in 
       an ox team, making an average of eighteen miles a day 
       enduring privations and dangers . . . When we think of the
       earliest pioneers . . . we feel an untold gratitude 
       towards them."
