The Pony Express operated from April 3, 1860 to October 24, 1861 between St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, California in the United States of America.

1,966 miles in 10 days!
Young men once rode horses to carry mail from Missouri to California in the unprecedented time of only 10 days! This relay system along the Pony Express National Historic Trail crossing eight states was the most direct and practical means of east-west communications in 1860.

The telegraph lines put it out of business.
