Item description from seller

Two pieces of ephemera relating to the Montana stage line in White Sulphur Springs. Includes a manuscript letter on Court Sheriff letterhead, and a RPPC depicting the stage into White Sulphur Springs. Dated to the 1890s. Letter measures 8" x 10 ¼", printed lettering is in blue, manuscript is in a legible hand and there is no content on verso. Letter has mailing folds, light soiling and modern pencil marginalia. RPPC measures 5 ½" x 3 ½", has a divided back and is printed on AZO paper. RPPC has minor creasing to bottom corner and light soiling on verso. Overall in very good condition. Letterhead reads "Court Sheriff, Proprietor - Hotel, Ferry and Stable - Also, White Sulphur Springs, and York Stage Lines"; datelined "Canyon Ferry, Mont. 3/23, 1893"; printed in upper left corner, with a drapery border "Dealer in General Merchandise and Miners' Supplies." The brief manuscript letter requesting horse shoes from Holter Hardware Co is signed by Court Sheriff. The RPPC is titled in the negative, "Staging in to White Sulphur Springs Mont." and depicts a four-horse stage coach on a road in a rather barren-looking landscape. Court Sheriff came to the Helena, MT area in 1865 and established himself in Canyon Ferry (formerly known as Cavetown) along the Missouri River between Helena and Diamond City. Over time Sheriff established a mercantile, hotel and livery as the place became a trade center for miners and farmers. The townsite of Canyon Ferry is now under water as a result of the Canyon Ferry Dam constructed in 1955. A great lot relating to stage coaching in Montana.…
