We are, as Matt Scribner says, all of us horsemen first and foremost. As they are making decisions about what discipline they want to become involved with, we are fostering their passion.” Endurance rider Dave Walters pro- nounced himself “delighted”with his decision to attend Tevis Talks, and praised Anderson for both the practicality and the humor in his message. “I had heard he was a charming and entertaining person, and he lived up to that,” Walters said. Summing up the event, host Scribner said: “My vision with Tevis Talks has always been two-fold. I see it as a way to inspire, and to educate. I think the inspiration part has to come first. It’s what opens our minds, and energizes us. That’s when the education part happens.” 1 TEVIS TALK (continued from page 37) was Auburn’s first such agent. Wells Fargo agents provided essential banking services, reliable transportation of gold and goods, and dependablemail delivery across the frontier.They purchased gold dust, took deposits and offered convenient and safe transport of money over long distances. Merchants used Wells Fargo checks to send payments to suppliers, while miners and business owners especially liked reliable mail delivery byWells Fargo’s letter express. Wells Fargo sent gold, mail and express shipments by the fastest means possible via stagecoach, steamship, railroad, or Pony Express. Like riders of the Tevis Cup 100 Mile One Day Ride,Wells Fargo expressmessengers traveled along the same Middle Fork trail but instead of seeking aWestern States buckle award they were busy providing services to the mining camps at Spanish Flat, Junction Bar, New York Bar, Louisiana Bar and Murderers Bar. By the turn of the century Lloyd Tevis and James Ben Ali Haggin gained control of Wells Fargo & Company. The rest, they say, is history. 1 The Middle Fork (continued from page 32) Make sure not to miss TEVIS TALK next year. Have you bought your raffle tickets?
