Stagecoach

"Sweeping in scope, as revealing of an era as it is of a company, Stagecoach is the story of Wells Fargo and the American West, by Philip L. Fradkin.". "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 and 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, following one of the greatest migrations in American history.". "Stagecoach is a combination of Western and business history. Along with its colorful association with the frontier - Wyatt Earp, Black Bart, Buffalo Bill - readers will discover that swiftness, security, and connectivity have been constants in Wells Fargo's history, and that these themes remain just as important today, 150 years later."--BOOK JACKET.
