Gold started it and gold continued to be the chief concern of Wells, Fargo Company for many decades; indeed the transfer of gold remains today an important aspect of its many-sided business. As express messengers to a frontier nation, the Wells Fargo men were intimately tied up with most romantic and stirring chapters of the opening of the West. In the business of transporting treasure the Wells Fargo people knew violence and death, Indian raids, stage robberies, financial panic, blizzards in the mountain passes, blinding heat and thirst on the desert, train robberies, titanic financial battles.
