The Pony Express is larger book written about the riders, the trail, and events which affected the rider and the delivery of the mail. The jacket describes this book this way: "Here is the panoramic sweep of the great West seen as if through the eyes of the saddle-hardened young men who rode the ponies. Here also is the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of the setting up of this bold enterprise." The book is well-written and interesting reading. Illustrations from the actual period of the Express have been assembled from original sources. This book states that Billy Richardson was the first rider out of St. Joseph. This book also includes Bill Hamilton and his first run out of Sacramento. This book is from the Don Reynolds library.
