Product Details

�WANTED: YOUNG, SKINNY, WIRY FELLOWS NOT OVER EIGHTEEN. MUST BE EXPERT RIDERS, WILLING TO RISK DEATH DAILY. ORPHANS PREFERRED.� �1860 poster advertising job openings for Pony Express riders. �The Pony Express is world famous, yet few know the details of this exciting chapter in American History. Joe Di Certo�s book, The Saga of the Pony Express, carries readers over 2,000 miles of dangerous trail to describe each station, its operators and owners, and sometimes the tragedies that happened at these remote sites. His book adds new insight to the heroic young riders who helped hold the nation together for 18 months while the transcontinental telegraph inched its way across the western United States.� �Gary Chilcote, director, Patee House Museum, and Vice President, National Pony Express Association. �Joe Di Certo takes you on a literary adventure of experiencing the lore, romance, and history of the Pony Express. The Saga of the Pony Express is a fun and easy way to learn, not only about the famous transcontinental mail delivery of 1860-1861, but also about the way of life in the mid-1800s America. This book will have appeal to all ages.� �Lackie Lewin, Head of Research, St. Joseph Museum.
