Two minutes was the time allowed for a pony express rider to switch mounts at a relay station. The iconic Pony Express would be the first “fast” mail between the settled East and the developing West of America. This step forward, in speeding up communications, would be a factor in holding California in the Union. This course covers the Pony Express from the beginning to its end, 19 months later, with its amazing history and impact upon America.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
