The Pony Express
Joanne Mattern
Library Binding (Mitchell Lane Publishers Inc, Aug. 25, 2017)Imagine waiting months to get your mail or find out the news. That was the reality for thousands of settlers in the western United States in the middle of the nineteenth century. At that time, the only way to deliver mail to them was by ship or overland by stagecoach. These journeys covered thousands of miles and took weeks or months to complete. Then, in 1860, the Pony Express burst across the West. Its teams of brave young men riding fast horses delivered the mail in record time and delighted people all over the country. Was the Pony Express a success? Did its riders really face death and danger at every turn? Find out the truth in this exciting tale of a treasured part of American life.
