The Brame Papers consist principally of correspondence files with readers or contributors to the Pony Express Courier (1934-1936) touching on lives or events important in 19th c. California and the West.

Herbert Brame, journalist and historian, founded the Pony Express Courier in Placerville (Calif.) to foster public interest in California and Western history (1934). Although Brame died two years later, his wife Verna continued the journal, which was published as late as 1977.
