Henry Wells (1805-78) and William Fargo (1818-81) first worked together when they broke the Post Office monopoly on mail service along the Erie Canal in the 1840s. This title presents the story of Henry Wells and his drivers; his accountants; and, how they built a lasting empire in a business most entrepreneurs thought too risky to try.
