NOTE ABOUT ORIGIN OF LIBRARIES FILE.
Prior to the opening of the renovated Pony Express Museum in 1993, St. Joseph Museum staff did extensive research on the Pony Express. All of the libraries in this folder were visited and copies of all material related to the Pony Express were made. This was done from 1991 to 1993. Information from this research was used in the new exhibits of the Pony Express Museum and in preparation of the book On the Winds of Destiny. In 2015, the file from the Pony Express Museum was added. Jackie Lewin 7/27/15
