A FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF MAIL SENT FROM A MEMBER OF
WILLIAM WALKER'S FILIBUSTERING CAMPAIGN IN NICARAGUA AND CARRIED BY
G. H. WINES EXPRESS. G. H. Wines & Co.'s Express, founded in 1855,
provided service from San Francisco to Sacramento, where they
connected with Rhodes & Whitney's Express to serve the mines. The
company also became involved with the Accessory Transit Company's
steamship operation (the Vanderbilt Line) to provide coast-to-coast
service via Nicaragua. Their agent, J. A. Ruggles, was appointed
postmaster of Nicaragua after William Walker became president of
Nicaragua in 1856, following his invasion of that country. Walker's
private residence was located in the Wines Express office in
Granada (El Nicaraguense, May 31, 1856). After Walker's defeat by
allied Central American and British forces, the company was
disbanded in 1857. The letter offered here has references to work
in the Army and is signed "Geo R. Gaston, Grenada" (or Caston, or
possibly Easton). None of these names returned results in our
search for Walker's filibusterers, but the writer was clearly
involved. Very few examples of the Wines & Co. express markings are
known on mail from Nicaragua. The Thomas book records only five of
this straightline marking from Nicaragua (this one is listed but
not noted in the listings as Nicaragua).

rest is a mix of condition up to some Very Fine, overall an
