The Paiute War "Farewell, Pony!" Home History World History Pony Express World History Study Guide The Paiute War Of all the dangers faced by Pony Express riders and station attendants, Indian attack was the most constant and grave. More than two-thirds of the route ran across land inhabited by Native American tribes. West of Salt Lake City, the track cut squarely across hunting grounds of the Paiute (pronounced Pi-yute) and Shoshone tribes, whose hatred and distrust of the white man had grown increasingly intense. Pony rider George Washington "Wash" Perkins, who rode the trail in Utah, remembered, "The Injuns were lurkin' all along the trail, trying to get us. We could see their smoke signals on the hills. It was a pretty dangerous gauntlet to run; but we skirted round every ambush point the best we could, to keep out of range of their arrows and bullets." Strained Relations Traditionally, relations between Native Americans and whites on the frontier were strained but not always hostile. Early trappers and mountain men had respected the Native American way of life and left their food supply undisturbed. Some had even adopted native customs and married native women. As time passed, however, hunters, explorers, and settlers became disrespectf.....

67. History A unique icon of american history, the pony express was a match of man againstthe elements. The solo riders came and went from the Fish Springs pony http://fishsprings.fws.gov/history.htm

Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge Home Page History Fish Springs has served as a vital resource to man for thousands of years. It is likely that the first inhabitants were Paleo Archaic natives about 11,500 years ago. These first inhabitants were followed by the Archaic tribes which occupied the region from about 8,000 years to 2000 years before present. The Fremont Indians lived here from about 2,000 to 800 years ago and the Goshiute tribes utilized the area from about 800 years ago until the middle of the 20th century. The first exploration by non-native Americans of the region occurred in 1827 when famed explorer Jedediah Smith visited the springs en route from California to central Utah. As early pioneers crossed the deserts of the west, the routes were often predicated not just on the shortest and easiest to travel but often were a wandering route between lifesaving water sources. One of these routes went south around the Great Salt Lake desert and through Fish Springs. It became the most used central route across the United States for westward bound emigrants. It was used by a wide array of transportation including: Jackass Mail 1851 to 1860 George Chorpenning was the first merchant to use the Overland Route for carrying freight, passengers and mail between Salt Lake City and Sacramento California. His service was nicknamed the "Jackass Mail" because he used teams of mules to pull the wagons over a route pioneered by famed Utah explorer Howard Egan. Just establishing the route was a major endeavor involving the scratching out of a rough trail and the construction of stations every twenty miles over a distance of nearly 700 miles. The Fish Springs station was only a thatched shed but did offer weary drivers and passengers over night accommodations.

Articles from EnRoute The Story Of The Pony Express The Story Of The Pony Express by Nancy Pope Volume 1, Issue 2 The Pony Express is one of the most colorful episodes in American history, one which can be used to measure not only the growth of the nation, but the pioneering spirit of our predecessors. The name "Pony Express" evokes images of courageous young men crossing long stretches of country, frequently under harsh conditions, facing the constant threat of death. And, like so many legendary events of the "Old West," there have been wild exaggerations of the facts. Despite the braggadocio, these young horsemen faced numerous dangers, such as thieves, deserts, or blizzards. Riders continued even at night when the only illumination came from the moon or flashes of lightening. The Pony Express grew out of a need for swifter mail service between the East and West prior to the Civil War. After gold was discovered in 1848 in Sutter's Mill in California, prospectors joined with homesteaders flocking westward. That same year, the Post Office Department awarded a contract to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to carry mail to California. Under the terms of the contract, the mail was carried by ship from New York to Panama, where it was taken across the Isthmus of Panama by horseback or rail, and then put aboard ships bound for San Francisco. Under the best of conditions, a letter could be carried to the West Coast in three or four weeks. But, that schedule was optimistic.

Back to the Welcome-Page From the Pony Express to Telegraphy back to the top of this page The first idea of telegraphy The word telegraphy comes from Greek. "Tele" means distant and "graphein" to write. So the meaning is writing at a distance. It's a possibility to send news over a long distance. The inventor of the first electric telegraph was Samuel Finley Breese Morse a North American inventor and painter. He had the idea for the concept when he returned to America from Italy on board the "Sully". In his studio at New York University he needed about six years to finish this invention and received a patent for it in 1838. The first message from Washington to Baltimore The 24th of May in 1844 was a very important day in the history of the United States: the first telegraph line was opened twelve years after Samuel Morse Most people were enthusiastic about this invention but not everyone. Farmers destroyed lines in South Kentucky in 1849. They said that the wire would remove the electricity from the air so it would not rain and there would be only crop failures.
