The Oregon Stage CompanyBy 1867, the Oregon Stage Company was the lifeblood of the Willamette Valley, carrying mail, passengers, and gold. This document provides a rare look at the operating costs of the frontier. Shoeing \"8 teams\" (which would be 32 horses) for $104.00 tells us that the cost was roughly $3.25 per team.

The Civil War Revenue ActThe orange stamp on the left is a Revenue Stamp, not a postage stamp. To fund the Civil War, the government required a \"tax\" on all legal and financial documents (bank checks, receipts, wills).

Oregon Pioneer ConnectionThe document is signed by John L. Arpner. This name is significant in Oregon pioneer history—the Arpners were a prominent family in the Corvallis/Benton County area.
