44. Pony Express surrounding the pony express made it a part of the legend of the American west . The pony express Social studies/Math Activity (Houghton Mifflin http://www.42explore2.com/pony.htm

The Topic: Pony Express Easier -The pony express was a mail service where riders on horseback traveled from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. Riders changed horses at stations placed about ten to fifteen miles apart. A rider handed the mail pack over to another rider after completing about 75 miles. Young, often teenage lightweight riders, orphans preferred, were hired for the job. One of the most famous was Buffalo Bill Cody. The pony express lasted only nineteen months, from April 3, 1860 to October 24, 1861. The pony express ended when the telegraph first crossed the continent. Harder - The pony express was developed by William H. Russell, William B. Waddell, and Alexander Majors. Plans for the pony express were spurred by the impending cloud of the Civil War and the need for faster communication with California and the West. The pony express consisted of relays of men riding fast ponies or horses that carried letters and small packages across a 1,966-mile (3,164-kilometer) trail. The service opened officially on April 3, 1860, when riders left simultaneously from St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. The first westbound trip was made in 9 days and 23 hours and the eastbound journey in 11 days and 12 hours. The pony riders covered 250 miles in a 24-hour day as compared with 100 to 125 miles by the stage coaches.

DATING SYSTEM People in the United States (and most of Western Civilization) routinely use the designations B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini – in the year of our Lord) to divide history and to designate the year. This demonstrates the degree to which the Christian faith has shaped Western culture. Repeated attempts have been made to convince people to use the symbols B.C.E. (before common era) and C.E. (common era) but these attempts have failed so badly that few people recognize these designations. When the Apollo II astronauts left a plaque on the moon it indicated that men first visited the moon in 1969 A.D. This dating system is often reflected in our official documents. The Constitution says, "Done in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven." The Emancipation Proclamation reads "... in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two...."

EXPLORATION IN UTAH Boats of the Powell expedition, Desolation Canyon John C. Fremont There is not a more recognizable name in early government explorations than John Charles Fremont. Although he traversed very little new ground in the west and used former mountain men as guides, his reports and maps provided much valuable information which stimulated westward migration. Fremont's enthusiastic description of the valley of the Great Salt Lake did much to encourage Brigham Young to bring the Mormons to the Great Basin to settle. After completing his trek to Fort Vancouver, Fremont journeyed south along the east slopes of the Sierra Nevadas searching for the mythical Buenaventura River. He confirmed the findings of the early mountain men that there was no channel that drained any of the Utah lakes into the Pacific Ocean. In 1844 Fremont left California and picked up the Old Spanish Trail, returning to the East via Utah Lake, Spanish Fork Canyon, and the Uinta Mountains. He was first to call the area that he had skirted during the year's exploration, "The Great Basin." In 1845 America's "Pathfinder" spent some more time in the Salt Lake Valley. On this particular trip he discovered the relationship between the Utah and Great Salt Lakes with the connecting Jordan River. Again with Kit Carson, he paid a visit to the large island which he named for its abundance of antelope. When he left the lake, he headed west across the Great Salt Lake Desert toward California, following a central route between those taken earlier by Jedediah Smith in 1827 and by Joseph Walker in 1833. Fremont's course would become a portion of the later Hastings Cut-off. He gave names to Pilot Peak and the Humboldt River in Nevada on this trip.

Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, Showplace of Ocean City, Maryland Exhibits Museum History USLSS History Genealogy ... Home A HISTORY OF THE U.S. LIFE-SAVING SERVICE By Bob Stevens It is surprising that today most citizens are unaware of the history and extraordinary feats of the crews of the United States Life-Saving Service. The service during its official life of 44 years, before becoming part of the U. S. Coast Guard in 1915, was credited with going to the aid of over 178,000 persons in peril on the water. Life-Saving stations were located on beaches along the Atlantic, the Gulf, on the Mississippi, the Great lakes and on the Pacific as far north as Alaska as well as the several floating facilities. In contrast, every school child studies the rides through the western territories of the Pony Express, which operated for only about one and a half years, concluding in October, 1861. Over a decade earlier, in 1849, the first efforts were made by our national government to establish a procedure for preventing the numerous shipwrecks and aiding shipwreck victims. As early as 1787, those living along the coast in the Massachusetts colony established a volunteer effort to rescue and aid the shipwrecked. The Massachusetts Humane Society continues to this day. Congressman William Newell of New Jersey, with the support of a former President, John Quincy Adams, was successful in adding an amendment to a Lighthouse bill, appropriating $10,000 for establishing eight boathouses on the northern New Jersey coast from Sandy Hook to Little Egg Harbor.
