Biography
Herbert Brame, journalist and historian, founded the Pony Express
Courier in Placerville (Calif.) to foster public interest in California and
Western history (1934). Although Brame died two years later, his wife Verna
continued the journal, which was published as late as 1977.
Scope and Content
The Brame Papers consist principally of correspondence files with
readers or contributors to the Pony Express Courier (1934-1936) touching on
lives or events important in 19th c. California and the West.
