Description
Describes how the Pony Express began, the men who worked for it, its importance and its demise. The mid-1800s was a time of unrest in the United States. New land was being settled. The Civil War was waiting the wings. Communication from one side of the continent to the other was slow and unreliable. It was a prime time for a fresh, new idea. Out of this necessity sprung the pony express. The 1840s and 1850s drew thousands of people to California, most of whom traveled along the Oregon trail. With the surge in population, the pony express was the answer to communication problems.
