Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History PONY EXPRESS The Pony Express was a system of delivering mail to the American West. Although short-lived and unprofitable, it captivated the popular imagination. It was developed by William H. Russell, who handled promotion, William B. Waddell, in charge of finances, and Alexander Majors, founder of an important freighting business between Independence, Missouri, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Seeking publicity and federal aid for an overland mail service, Russell induced his partners to go along with his plans for the Pony Express, which would operate between St. Joseph, Missouri, and San Francisco. The first run was on April 3, 1860, and the Pony Express functioned on a semiweekly basis for nearly two years. A rider would cover two hundred miles a day for ten days, changing horses approximately every ten miles. The route followed a settlers' trail across the present-day states of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada to California, carrying mail as well as some small freight for the young Wells Fargo Company. The Pony Express contributed to the economy of the towns on its route, especially Salt Lake City. But Russell, Waddell, and Majors made no money from it and went bankrupt in 1862. After originally advancing money to the firm, Ben Holladay, who operated a freight business and was later a power in stagecoaches, steamships, and railroads, took over the Pony Express at a foreclosure sale in 1862. Although it had served a need by providing mail service, the Pony Express was rendered obsolete by the Western Union Telegraph Company and the coming of the transcontinental railroad.

Lodging Guides / Rentals Hot Deals Campgrounds ... Trip Packages Pony Express Trail National Back Country Byway The origins and the reason for a horse-and-rider mail delivery system between east and west can be summed up in two words: slow mail. Prior to the Coach and Pony Express mail delivery, time from the east to the westby ship down the Gulf of Mexico, across Panama by mule, then by ship again up to San Franciscomight take six weeks, and if the winds were off, eight weeks. With the discovery of gold in California in 1848, and the increasing political tensions of the 1850s which led to the Civil War, it became imperative to keep the far West in the Union by providing a more dependable source of information from the East. News was very slow in reaching eager California readers, and a standing joke of the time was that events in the East had already been forgotten by the time they were known by those out West. The Vision The solution to this problem came from a businessman of vision, William Russell. Russell owned a stage and freight company based in Leavenworth, Kansas (with partners A. Majors and W.B. Waddell). While on a promotional trip to Washington to help his ailing freight line, Russell and Senator William Gwin of California discussed the possibilities of an Express Mail Company to deliver mail to California by the Central Route along the Oregon and California Trail. Initially the stage express line was comprised of fifty coaches and extended about eight hundred miles. By February 1860, when the line was extended from Salt Lake City across Utah and Nevada to California, efficiency had improved the mail delivery time to a respectable number of days. However, financial losses were staggering, no government subsidies came through, and something was needed to promote the Central Route.

Florida Fossil Horse Newsletter Volume 3, Number 2 2nd QuarterJune 1994 What's Inside? Fossil Horses and the Great American Interchange News from Bolivia Horse bonesulna and radius The Thomas Farm Dig 1994 Fossil Horses and the Great American Interchange It is a fact of nature that isolation of organisms results in unique and interesting evolutionary histories. For example, the mammals currently living on the island continent of Australia combine a unique ancestry of monotremes and marsupials that have evolved into ecological niches similar to placentals in the northern hemisphere. Yet, even though they have exploited the range of herbivorous and carnivorous habits of their northern counterparts, they nevertheless have many unique characteristics, for example, their mode of reproduction. Although North, Central, and South America are today connected by dry land, during most of the Cenozoic Era from about 60 to 3 million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama did not exist and South America drifted as an island continent, much like Australia is doing today. Consequently, South America evolved an isolated biota, including indigenous mammals unlike those found elsewhere at the same period of time. South American pouched marsupials occupied the carnivorous niches of their northern hemisphere placental counterparts, the former perhaps most strikingly exemplified by the Miocene saber-toothed possum Thalacosmilus , which was only a very distant mammalian relative of the familiar Pleistocene saber-toothed cat Smilodon from North America. In addition to mammalian carnivores, other groups, such as large flightless birds and land-adapted crocodilians, also were the top carnivores in terrestrial ecosystems during much of the Cenozoic. Several stocks of South American mammals, including the litopterns and notoungulates, independently evolved herbivorous habits. During the Miocene many groups of South American notoungulates evolved very high-crowned teeth, presumably for feeding on abrasive plant foods like grasses, independent of horses in North America during the Miocene. Some of the litopterns evolved a simplified limb with only a single functional digit (see

From Other Guides Women of the Wild West Elsewhere on the Web Buffalo Bill Historical Center Carter uses multiple sources as he weaves the story of Cody’s life and lays open several false claims that have occasionally been attributed to Buffalo Bill. For instance, he probably did not kill his first Indian at age 11. Cody, however, almost certainly did kill Yellow Hair (often called Yellow Hand) in a fight sometimes labeled “The Duel on the War Bonnet” or “The First Scalp for Custer” (since it occurred the month after the Battle of the Little Bighorn). Yet, as Carter clearly points out, the fight was not a duel, and it took place on Hat Creek (near present-day Montrose, Neb.), not on the War Bonnet. Carter, who makes his home in Richmond, Va., recently talked about Cody and his sweeping biography in an interview for Wild West.
