- Synopsis
- The Pony Express existed for only a little more than a year, but in those short months it added a glowing chapter to Western history. A rider was given a red flannel shirt, blue trousers, a Bible, and a Colt revolver for the race against time. He needed them all -- particularly the gun. This is a thrilling and authentic account of the young men and boys who carried the mail almost two thousand miles in ten days and nights of merciless riding between San Francisco and St. Joseph, Missouri, over blizzard-swept mountains, across blazing deserts and through the heart of hostile Indian country.
