I rember being told by Paul or Joe that "Frank" was the last harness maker for the Wells Fargo stagecoaches. I have contacted Wells Fargo historical archive dept. and am awiating an answer. Does any one have info on this?
Also, does anyone care??
This blog is dedicated to our grandparents, Joseph Bosque and Annie Corbett. It is an ongoing compilation of stories and memories to be shared, remembered, and enjoyed by those who knew them, were affected by them, and are the descendants of them.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your interest in Wells Fargo's history.
Wells Fargo did not distribute saddles. Purchases were local, and personnel usually brought their own equipment. Your ancestor's products surely may have been a possession of someone who worked for Wells Fargo, but the saddles were not made specifically for the company.
In addition, Wells Fargo & Co.'s Express was transported aboard stagecoaches and delivery wagons. Our messengers and drivers were not riding horse back.
Hope this helps!

It didn't seem that Mr. Riggs was really too interested in divulging any "details" of those employed -
