Riding the Trail
Fewer than 100 men rode for the Pony Express in its 18 months of existence. But by the end of the 1800s, hundreds claimed that they had been riders, and their tall tales of reckless adventure grew taller with each telling. Exaggerated stories make it hard for historians to locate and celebrate the real riders.
The photos in this book show real Pony Express riders. |
