This book is about the stages between Phoenix and Prescott, that area.  I have it, and it's a good book.  It's in storage right now, so I can't access it to tell you if it has actual timetables.

You're welcome.  Here's another good book about the same area, the Bradshaw Mountains south of Prescott: http://www.amazon.com/Crown-King-Southern-Bradshaws-Complete/dp/096...

It is not about stage routes per se, but is an excellent book on mining and population in the area.  I wish this author would write books like this on each mining area of AZ.

Would the routes you are talking about go anywhere near the Beale's Springs area not far from Kingman?  Patterson mentioned a purported stagecoach robbery that suppossedly took place not far from there, but. apparently the robbery never occurred at all.
