The Story of the Pony Express

Excerpt

This little volume has but one purpose — to give an authentic, useful,
and readable account of the Pony Express.  This wonderful enterprise
played an important part in history, and demonstrated what American
spirit can accomplish.  It showed that the “heroes of sixty-one” were not
all south of Mason and Dixon’s line fighting each other.  And, strange to
say, little of a formal nature has been written concerning it.
