Reminiscences of an Early Express Messenger on the Walla Walla Route
A former messenger recalls joining the Walla Fargo Express Company in November 1865 to serve the Dalles Walla Walla route during the mining boom in eastern Oregon Idaho Montana and British Columbia. He describes the Shot Gun Messenger role carrying a loaded double barrel shotgun, the treasure shipments including 1700 pounds of silver bullion and four 200 pound chests, gold dust values from $12 to $21 per ounce, and the rigors of stage and river travel through a sparsely populated, perilous landscape. He notes widespread crime, reliance on greenbacks, and the diverse overland transport network from Wallula to Walla Walla and Baker City.
