Description
The Last Ride of the Pony Express: A 2,000-mile Journey into the Old West Cowboy and journalist Will Grant takes readers on an epic horseback journey into the modern West, tracing the spirit of the Pony Express, a fast-horse frontier mail service that spanned the American West. In the 1860s, the Pony Express carried letter mail on a blistering ten-day schedule between Missouri and San Francisco, covering a massive distance through a vast and mostly uninhabited wilderness. Grant's journey, undertaken with his two horses, Chicken Fry and Badger, offers a unique perspective on the Pony Express and its enduring legacy. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Mark Twain, Sir Richard Burton, and Horace Greeley, Grant captures the essence of the American West in a way that few writers have. This is a story of adventure, horsemanship, and the human spirit, as Grant rides the trail from one end to the other.
