. Nevada County Nugget.. November 5, 1964. BY HOLLIS BENTLEY HN Jerry Gr€tn Got Through NEVADA COUNTY 1861 A stage race on the Washington Road! Jerry Green gumbled. He emptied his beer glass and left the National Exchange Hotel. Stopped in front of the hotel was the big new Concord stage that ran on a tight schedule between Nevada and Sacramento. Jerry ignored the still shiny paint and the six strong horses. He didn't read the posted schedule of rates and departures of the two rival lines serving Alpha, Omega, Washington and Nevada. Jerry knew the big, heavy wagons would be five hours up the 22 mile grade that climbed 2500 feet before it dropped down to Omega and finally Washington on the river. Let ‘em race, he thought, as he pictured the clouds of June dust rising all along the ridge. The stages, all manner of carts andwagons, carriedthe mail and about half of that mail load would reach its final destination on his back, At7 a.m. when the first stage left Nevada for Washington, Jerry Green was already well on his way. He carried express over a 60 mile course. Following the river trails, he was personel mailman for hundreds of men who moved day by day along the rivers. Traveling afoot with a pack that averaged 60 pounds, he took the paths and shortcutsno wagon or sure-footed mule could have made. Jerry Green knew every inch of the South Yuba Canyon. He knew its tributaries and he knew the men who worked them. The miners wrote their names on a list whichhe gave to the Nevada and W ashington post offices. The territory beyond the wagon roads and mule trails belonged to Jerry. His regular run was up the South Yuba to Washington and then up Savings Bonds Sales $8,045 In County "Locally, cash sales of U.S; Savings Bonds in the county amounted to $8,045 for September," Nevada County Volunteer U.S. Savings Bonds Chairman Willard J.

"September saw another national record set when public holdings of Savings Bonds passed the $48 billion mark for the first time since Savings Bonds were introduced in 1941-" Poorman to Eureka South, over through The Flats, back to Humbug and then into Nevada. No_one knew his schedule or the intricacies of his route. Itwas saidhe made this 60 mile trip in one day. And yet no one really knew. Jerry Green just turned up and then was gone. He carried many blessings with him as he delivered letters six months to a year old to miners unable to forget home. It was often Jerry's decision that sent letters back East as’ undeliverable. But those letteis had developed a history of travel that would amaze the letter writers. The letters were carried through the mountain snow storms, along the icy rivers, over the swollen tributaries and along trails of frozen mud. A great many of the letters were never claimed, never returned, They died ina sack in the post otfice, the worn envelopes carrying a barely legible name and the address was often just California.
