What a great story. It’s very important that American history is acknowledged and appreciated in manners such as this. Thanks for posting.

I am hoping liberals will not find a need to destroy this part of American history.

lasted a mere 18 months; between April 1860 and October 1861

And we think that fast technological progress is a new thing. Same story for the Whaling for Oil Industry (to power lanterns) out of Nantucket, only lasted a few years if I recall my hostory

Saw an advertisement for Pony Express riders which read similarly to this:

WANTED: Riders needed for new postal route through hostile Indian country.
Must be expert rider and marksman. Orphans preferred.

When I was in elementary school in the early 1970s, I got a book at the Scholastic Book Fair called “Riders of the Pony Express.” I read it until it completely fell apart. (Several drops in the bathtub probably didn’t help.)

I’d rather take a stagecoach than fly.
