Home Collection Reading Program The American West The Pony Express The Pony Express (Cornerstones of Freedom) What I Learned Section 1 Answer the Following Questions: 1. The Pony Express ran between which two cities? St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. In the spring of 1860, the Pony Express hired 80 young men to carry the U.S. mail on horseback between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. The route was 1,966 miles long, and the Pony Express promised to deliver the mail within 10 days. Each Pony Expressman rode a horse 15 miles and then switched horses. After riding 75 miles, the rider passed his mailbag (a mochila) to the next rider. Along the route, the Pony Express riders faced the winds on the prairies of Kansas and Nebraska, crossed the Sweetwater River in Wyoming, traversed the hot deserts of Utah and Nevada, and climbed the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. In the 1850's, before the Pony Express was established, it was a difficult journey to carry the mail between Salt Lake City, Utah, and California. Some men never completed the trip. Some might have been wounded or killed by unfriendly Native Americans, and some might have frozen to death in the deep snow. Others who completed the trip took up to fifty-three days to arrive in Salt Lake City.

Description: Lasting barely 20 months, the Pony Express was one of the briefest and most romantic episodes in the brief and romantic history of the American West. Until 1860, it took 26 to 30 days to get the mail from New York to California. Established by three private businessmen who set up a system of 500 horses and 190 relay stations between St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, California, the Pony Express's 200 riders made the 2,000 mile journey in just 10 days. They carried a half-ounce letter for only $ 5. The roster of riders included names that have also become legends of the West, such as Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody. Beginning as it did in April, 1860, the Pony Express carried the news of the most tumultuous events in American history to the West. Westerners first learned of Abraham Lincoln's election, the succession of the Confederate States of America, and the firing on Fort Sumter from Pony Express riders. But even in the 19th Century romance gave way to technology. On October 24, 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph line was completed, and within a month the Pony Express ended its operations forever.

In a similar way, their legend now flashes across the pages of American history, leaving in the dust historical footnotes, myths, and family stories. Until 1858, when the Overland Stage Line between San Francisco and St. Louis was established, the only direct connection between San Francisco and New York was via Panama–4,000 miles away by water. Once every fortnight great crowds gathered in San Francisco on "Steamer Day" to meet the incoming steamers that brought mail and newspapers, which often took anywhere from six months to a year to get around Cape Horn (South America) or via the Isthmus of Panama. At this time, more than half a million people lived west of the Rocky Mountains and it was slow and difficult for them to communicate with family, friends, and businesses in the East. They demanded better and faster mail service and more timely news of the rest of the country. In 1857, Congress awarded a $600,000 contract to the Overland Mail Company, owned primarily by John Butterfield and William G. Fargo. The Overland Mail Company provided a twice-a-week service between St. Louis or Memphis and San Francisco; each run was to be made in twenty-five days. Later, Wells Fargo incorporated this Overland Mail route into the grandest of all stage lines and became one of the most famous companies in the West.

56. Pony Express Trail National Back Country Byway | Utah.com during the Civil War thanks to correspondence carried by the pony express. In all,a dramatic thundering page had been written in american history, and on a http://www.utah.com/playgrounds/pony_express.htm

The origins and the reason for a horse-and-rider mail delivery system between east and west can be summed up in two words: slow mail. Prior to the Coach and Pony Express mail delivery, time from the east to the westby ship down the Gulf of Mexico, across Panama by mule, then by ship again up to San Franciscomight take six weeks, and if the winds were off, eight weeks. With the discovery of gold in California in 1848, and the increasing political tensions of the 1850s which led to the Civil War, it became imperative to keep the far West in the Union by providing a more dependable source of information from the East. News was very slow in reaching eager California readers, and a standing joke of the time was that events in the East had already been forgotten by the time they were known by those out West. The Vision The solution to this problem came from a businessman of vision, William Russell. Russell owned a stage and freight company based in Leavenworth, Kansas (with partners A. Majors and W.B. Waddell). While on a promotional trip to Washington to help his ailing freight line, Russell and Senator William Gwin of California discussed the possibilities of an Express Mail Company to deliver mail to California by the Central Route along the Oregon and California Trail. Initially the stage express line was comprised of fifty coaches and extended about eight hundred miles. By February 1860, when the line was extended from Salt Lake City across Utah and Nevada to California, efficiency had improved the mail delivery time to a respectable number of days. However, financial losses were staggering, no government subsidies came through, and something was needed to promote the Central Route.

Colorado Gunsmoke Utes The Mountain People Written by: Jan Pettit Paperback, 178 Pages Published by: Johnson Books, Boulder, Colorado, 1990 Moving with the seasons, the Utes covered vast areas of Colorado and surrounding states. Summer would find the tribes in the high country of the Rockies. In the fall, attention turned to gathering food and supplies and preparing for the harsh season ahead. Winters were spent in the semi-arid country of northern New Mexico and Utah, trading with neighbors. Springtime would find the various groups heading back to the high country of the Rockies. The traditional Ute food gathering and hunting lifestyle brought the Utes into the inevitable, tragic, and absolute conflict with incoming settlers, soldiers, and miners, who wanted to divide up the Ute homeland into privately owned parcels. The heart of Ute history lies in the oral tradition and is slowly fading away.
