Cord hunted people or things for money. He hunted outlaws, runaways, missing kids, or missing valuables. He preferred San Francisco when he was not chasing people for money. Currently his cash was getting short, and he was going to have to do some hunting Wanted posters were his normal job notices. Posters for $500 to $1,000 for an individual in California, Nevada, or Arizona were best. Sometimes adds in local papers also gave him job opportunities. Wells Fargo was also a job source, and a quick visit to the local Wells Fargo office gave him a job offer. They offered him $1,000 to pick up a consignment in Sacramento and transfer it to San Francisco. It sounded like a super payday. He did not know that the consignment was a twenty-year-old hell cat woman who tried to knife him and would make his life hell across four western states. His life would be changed forever.

Download or read book Shotguns and Stagecoaches written by John Boessenecker and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true stories of the Wild West heroes who guarded the iconic Wells Fargo stagecoaches and trains, battling colorful thieves, vicious highwaymen, and robbers armed with explosives. The phrase "riding shotgun" was no teenage game to the men who guarded stagecoaches and trains the Western frontier. Armed with sawed-off, double-barreled shotguns and an occasional revolver, these express messengers guarded valuable cargo through lawless terrain. They were tough, fighting men who risked their lives every time they climbed into the front boot of a Concord coach. Boessenecker introduces soon-to-be iconic personalities like "Chips" Hodgkins, an express rider known for his white mule and his ability to outrace his competitors, and Henry Johnson, the first Wells Fargo detective. Their lives weren't just one shootout after another—their encounters with desperadoes were won just as often with quick wits and memorized-by-heart knowledge of the land. The highway robbers also get their due. It wouldn't be a book about the Wild West without Black Bart, the most infamous stagecoach robber of all time, and Butch Cassidy's gang, America's most legendary train robbers. Through the Gold Rush and the early days of delivery with horses and saddlebags, to the heyday of stagecoaches and huge shipments of gold, and finally the rise of the railroad and the robbers who concocted unheard-of schemes to loot trains, Wells Fargo always had courageous men to protect its treasure. Their unforgettable bravery and ingenuity make this book a thrilling read.
