The trail of Wells Fargo runs through nearly every imaginable landscape and
icon of frontier folklore: the California Gold Rush, the Pony Express, the
transcontinental railroad, the Civil War, and the Indian wars. From the Great
Plains to the Rockies to the Pacific Ocean, the company's operations embraced
almost all social, cultural, and economic activities west of the Mississippi.
As its reputation for speed and dependability grew after the Gold Rush, the
sight of a red-and-yellow Wells Fargo stagecoach racing across the prairie came
to symbolize faith in a nation's progress. For a time, Wells Fargo was the most
powerful and widespread institution in the American West, even surpassing the
presence of the federal government.
Stagecoach is a fascinating and rare combination of Western and business
history. Along with its rich association with the frontier, readers will
discover that swiftness, security, and connectivity have been constants in
Wells Fargo's 150 years.
