What to expect

In 1860, starting a mail route became a must in order to connect the eastern U.S. with the growing west coast following the gold rush of California, the lumber camps, and the various needs because of the settling of the western frontier. An accessible yet thorough account of the operation of the line known as the Pony Express, that lasted for about 16 months before being replaced by the telegraph. This work is meticulous yet manages to convey the entrepreneurial and dangerous atmosphere of the time (repelling of Indian attacks and overall tough working conditions).
