A blank ledger sheet form with the following headings: Where From, Date, Article, Value, To Whom Addressed, Charges, When Delivered, By Whom Received. 9 x 12.” Little is known about this company. It supposedly operated c.1871 “somewhere in the west outside of California and Oregon.” There is some correspondence with this express company between the years 1879-1882 listed in the Simeon R. Buford papers of the Northwest Digital Archives manuscript collections. Buford was a Virginia City, Montana stage line operation, merchant and rancher. This correspondence indicates that H.F. Galen’s Express was a going concern at least until 1882, possibly in the Montana-Idaho area. [www.christies.com] and [nwda-db.wsulibs.wsu.edu/findaid/ark:/80444/xv29426]
