The Saga of the Pony Express, Paperback

The government in the mid-1800s needed better communication with its far-flung citizens in the West. Three visionaries dreamt up a seemingly impossible solution: the Pony Express. An elite cadre of riders would carry the U.S. mail across 2,000 miles on inhospitable wilderness in 10 days. The Saga of the Pony Express proves there's a reason some legends endure.
