brought the first coach mail over

who once "squelched" the great Hor.

n OF the classics OF the West. In
1853 Greeley made a trip to the Pa.

Hank Monk who was on the bridge

City, New. AS they started, Greeley
leaned out of the window and In
formed Hank that he expected to
be In Placerville right on time so
he could catch the connecting
coach for Sacramento.
Hank was not accustomed to TAX
Ing orders from anyone, least of all
from an eastern tenderfoot. But he
only smiled blandly and said "All

trip were upgrade and Hank had to
take 1t slow. But when he reached

When the admiring populace of

half century that became a by-word
