Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xv, [1], 461, [3] pages. Illustrations. Source Notes. Index. Andy Anderson was the chief historian at San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Company. Philip L. Fradkin (1935-2012) was an American environmentalist, historian, journalist, and author. Fradkin authored books ranging from Alaska, California, and Nevada, with topics ranging from water conservation and earthquakes to nuclear weapons testing. Fradkin was born to Jewish parents in Manhattan on February 28, 1935. When he was 14 years old, his father took him on an extended road trip through the Western United States. He fell in love with the American West, and subsequently moved to California in 1960. In 1964, Fradkin began working for the Los Angeles Times, and the following year was part of the metropolitan staff awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its work on the 1965 Watts riots. In 2005, Fradkin was given the California Award by the Commonwealth Club of California. Sweeping across prairie, plain, and mountain range, Stagecoach is the epic story of an American original, a business with the peculiar American talent for reinvention -- Wells Fargo. It's the story of a transportation-communications-financial-services network that had the audacity to survive the blizzards of the century, plagues of locusts, devastating earthquakes and fires, panics and depressions, and a civil war and world wars. From telegraph to Internet, Wells Fargo became an icon of the American West and a bastion of American finance. For some, Wells Fargo was "the greatest universal service company ever invented." It built its reputation in an era when companies were either in-business or out-of-business solely on the basis of their integrity and dependability. There were no safety nets and hardly any government. For others, Wells Fargo was a vast domain of gold and banks and bullion vaults that housed and moved the nation's mineral and agricultural wealth from the Middle and Far Western "frontier" to the "civilization" of the East. Powerful images of Wells Fargo stagecoaches, Pony Express riders, transcontinental railroads, and telegraph lines combine with the vast spaces and abundance of the American landscape and the energy of American technology to paint the portrait of a company that has fed the nation and moved its money -- securely and speedily -- for 150 years. Along the way, America grew from 20 million to 280 million people. Entrepreneurs and dreamers, farmers and mechanics, small businesses and global enterprises used the company's services alongside Wyatt Earp, Black Bart, Buffalo Bill, Levi Strauss, Amelia Earhart, and a host of other American originals. Sweeping in scope, as revealing of an era as it is of a company, Stagecoach is a wonderfully unique look at Wells Fargo as part of the history of the American West by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip L. Fradkin, and as part of the history of American enterprise by Wells Fargo's chief historian, Dr. Andy Anderson. Alex Fradkin (Fradkin photograph) and Cindy Charle (illustrator).…
