He also carried the overland mails for Chorpenning during the winter months of 1861. Snowshoe died on 15 May, 1876. The San Francisco News Letter was published by Frederick Marriott and served to advance his intertwining financial and political interests, to level attacks against his foes, and to extort money from public figures who he threatened with the prospect of scandalous news reports.
