Search Amazon.com The study of Native American people and their cultures is a challenge because of the stereotypes that exist, not only in the literature, but in our own minds and in those of the children we teach. Not long ago I was working with children in a school on the east coast and told them I had just come from working with Indian children in North Dakota. They were sure I was telling another story since, they said, "There aren't any more Indians. We killed them all." Hard to believe such things in today's world of television and world wide communication, but I'm sure these children were not unique in their ignorance. Many studies of Indians leave students convinced that all Indians lived in tepees then and still do or that they were all wiped out, not that our ancestors didn't try.

The entire surface of the pony is covered with cancelled postage stamps, symbolically evoking the important role that the Pone Express played in American history. These stamps from around the world also celebrate Tucson as an international border city, an active participant in the 'global village'.

    Extractions: The Pony Express, which operated only from April 1860 to October 1861, represented rapid communications for that erataking about 10 day to travel between St. Joseph MO and Sacramento CA. When a telegraph line was finally stretched across the plains and through the mountains, the Pony Express became a part of history. The Hollenberg Pony Express Station is thought to be the only Pony Express Station in the nation to have been preserved and left on its original location, making it a unique part of American history and a proud part of Kansas' history. This historic station, which is operated by the Kansas State Historical Society, is located near the town of Hanover in northeast Kansas. The telegraph office equipment consisted of two HF transceivers, an Alinco DX-70T and a Yaesu FT101E both running about 80 W of power, in addition to a Kenwood TM631A 2m/220MHz rig. A Chushcraft R5 vertical was used to support 20-m and 17-m operation, an inverted-V dipole was used for 40m and a simple quarterwave groundplane antenna was used on 2 meters. All radios were operated off battery power, as were two fans, which proved to be RFI generators! To make the "Telegraph Office" sound authentic, an old telegraph sounder was frequently connected to the output of the radio to turn the dits and dahs into clicks and clunks.

    Extractions: Buffalo Bill History William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody was born in LeClaire, Iowa in 1846. While he was still a child, his family moved to Leavenworth, Kansas. Cody left his home in Leavenworth, Kansas, at the young age of eleven. He herded cattle and worked as a driver on a wagon train, crossing the Great Plains several times. He went on to fur trapping and gold mining, then joined the Pony Express in 1860. After the Civil War, Cody scouted for the Army and gained the nickname "Buffalo Bill" as a hunter. Cody’s life in the West offered the stuff from which legends were made and he soon was popularized in newspaper accounts and dime novels. Buffalo Bill’s show business career began on December 17, 1872 in Chicago; he was age twenty-six. "The Scouts of the Prairie" was a drama created by dime novelist Ned Buntline, who appeared in it with Cody and another well-known scout, "Texas Jack" Omohundro. The show was a success, despite one critic’s characterization of Cody as "a good-looking fellow, tall and straight as an arrow, but ridiculous as an actor." Other critics noted Cody’s manner of charming the audience and the realism he brought to his performance. Actor or not, Buffalo Bill was a showman. The following season Cody organized his own troupe, the Buffalo Bill Combination. The troupe’ show "Scouts of the Plains" included Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, and Cody’s old friend "Wild Bill" Hickok. Wild Bill and Texas Jack eventually left the show, but Cody continued staging a variety of plays until 1882. That year the Wild West show was conceived. It was an outdoor spectacle, designed to both educate and entertain, using a cast of hundreds as well as live buffalo, elk, cattle, and other animals.

    Extractions: The Postal Role in U.S. Development Between the Revolutionary period and the first World War, United States postal officials applied themselves to improving transportation of the mails. From those early days to the present, the Postal Service has helped develop and subsidize every new mode of transportation in the United States. The postal role was a natural one; apart from postal employees themselves, transportation was the single most important element in mail delivery, literally, the legs of communication. Even when the general public was skeptical or fearful of a new means of transportation, postal officials experimented with inventions that offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process. As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile, and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, helicopters, and pneumatic tubes, mail contracts ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned the continent. By the turn of the 19th century, the Post Office Department had purchased a number of stagecoaches for operation on the nation's better post roads a post road being any road on which the mail traveled and continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail more safely.

    http://www.xphomestation.com/facts.html
    
    Extractions: Dates The idea behind the Pony Express—a horseback relay mail service—goes back at least as far as thirteenth-century China, where Marco Polo saw “post stations twenty-five miles apart.” Oregon missionary Marcus Whitman proposed in 1843 using a relay of “fresh horses” to deliver mail from the Missouri to the Columbia in forty days. In 1845 it took President James K. Polk six months to get a message to California, which dramatically pointed up the need to improve communications in the expanding nation. After the Gold Rush brought hundreds of thousands of Americans to the far west, getting the mail between the nation’s coasts became an increasingly important problem. Source: National Park Service Pony Express National Historic Trail Brochure With the discovery of gold followed by statehood, the population of California exploded. Half a million Americans lived in the regions west of the rocky mountains. At that time, St. Joseph, Missouri, was the westernmost point which the railroad and telegraph had reached. It was the strategic starting point over the heart of the "great American desert" by way of the direct "Central" route to the west. Except for a few forts and settlements the route beyond St. Joseph was a vast, silent wilderness inhabited primarily by Indians. Transportation across this area on a year-round bases was believed impossible because of weather.

    Extractions: St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. In the spring of 1860, the Pony Express hired 80 young men to carry the U.S. mail on horseback between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. The route was 1,966 miles long, and the Pony Express promised to deliver the mail within 10 days. Each Pony Expressman rode a horse 15 miles and then switched horses. After riding 75 miles, the rider passed his mailbag (a mochila) to the next rider. Along the route, the Pony Express riders faced the winds on the prairies of Kansas and Nebraska, crossed the Sweetwater River in Wyoming, traversed the hot deserts of Utah and Nevada, and climbed the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. In the 1850's, before the Pony Express was established, it was a difficult journey to carry the mail between Salt Lake City, Utah, and California. Some men never completed the trip. Some might have been wounded or killed by unfriendly Native Americans, and some might have frozen to death in the deep snow. Others who completed the trip took up to fifty-three days to arrive in Salt Lake City.
