Back in frontier west, outside US territory (and therefore not served by the Post Office Department or the Pony Express), people would set up highly profitable transportation companies. These companies would make deliveries for local shops but also carry mail, bringing stuff to somewhere served by the Post Office Department or the Pony Express or the Wells Fargo freight routes. I read all this in a book ages ago but I was skimming through some wikipedia articles that mention some of what I'm talking about if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_frontier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_Express#Stations |
