The Story Of The Pony Express

by Glenn D. Bradley

Overview

The Story of the Pony Express is a book written by Glenn D. Bradley. This tiny book's sole goal is to provide a reliable, practical, and readable overview of the Pony Express. This admirable endeavor made a significant contribution to history and showed what the American spirit is capable of. It demonstrated that not all of the "heroes of '61" engaged in armed conflict south of the Mason-Dixon line. Strangely enough, hardly much formal writing has been done on the subject. The author has attempted to highlight and make accessible to all readers the more significant details of the Pony Express, including its conception, structure, and development, its historical significance, its background, and some anecdotes related to its operation. The subject introduces you to a wide range of fascinating material, much of it irrelevant but nevertheless fascinating. This information is disjointed and illogical on its own. It would be simple to fill many pages with western adventures that have no particular connection to the main subject.
