Sam (William) Hamilton was hired for Bolivar Robert's Division not only because he was an excellent horseman but because he was familiar with the country through which the route passed. He took the first mochila off the boat from San Francisco at Sacramento. When the first west bound mail arrived, he carried it from Placerville to Sacramento where he boarded the Antelope, horse and all, for San Francisco.
