Perihal e-buku ini
""Pony Express"" explores the brief but vital role of this high-speed mail service in connecting a divided nation on the brink of the Civil War.
More than just a romanticized tale of the Wild West, the Pony Express provided a crucial communication link between the East and West coasts, especially as California's gold rush boomed.
During this period, news could take months to travel across the American West, but the Pony Express cut that time to around ten days, delivering urgent political and economic news.

The book examines the establishment and operation of the Pony Express, the experiences of its riders, and its lasting impact on national unity.
It highlights how the relay stations and carefully selected routes enabled riders to cover vast distances, facing harsh weather and potential dangers along the way.
Using primary sources such as diaries and letters, the book unfolds chronologically, starting with the historical context and key figures, then detailing the riders' experiences and the service's ultimate demise with the completion of the transcontinental telegraph.
