Wells Fargo Stage Lines
« on: November 28, 2006, 07:33:03 PM »
From all the exposure they've gotten over the years in all the westerns, everybody is familiar with Wells Fargo; What was "number two" as Avis would say? Were there any others of note?

Butterfield Overland was already mentioned. 

There were also Northwestern Express, Holladay Overland, Barlow Sanderson, Rockwell, Deseret, Risher and Hall, American Express, Blackhills Stage and Express, California Stage Company, and maybe a couple of hundred that only had a stage or two (or three) and followed a short route.  W.T. & Co. Express bought out a bunch and forced a large number of others out of business.
