c1883 Strong & Middlebrook David Wood (Transportation Lines) Mining Letterhead

David Wood (1851-1944) operated a freight and passenger stage service in the San Juan mining district of Colorado. He entered the Union Army's 6th Missouri Cavalry in 1862 as an orderly and became the youngest soldier in the Civil War. Wood came to Pueblo, Colorado, in 1876 and operated a freight line, The David Wood Transportation Lines, from the end of the railroad tracks to mining camps in Lake City, Ouray, Telluride, Rico and Montrose, Colorado. He lost his company in the 1893 silver panic and operated a ranch near Montrose afterwards. Source: archiveswest.orbiscascade.org
