The Pony Express, which some say started as an expensive publicity stunt by the freighting firm Russell, Majors & Waddell to snag a lucrative government mail contract, turned into an 18-month adventure that still captures the imagination of western-history lovers. For more than 132 years, the lore of the Pony Express has endured. Almost yearly, people ride all or parts of the trail on horseback. From its starting point in St. Joseph, Missouri, to its terminus in Sacramento, California, the Express’ 1,839 miles traversed the “central route.” Transportation magnates William H. Russell, Alexander Majors and William Waddell were betting on this route to triumph over the more popular but longer southern route as the nation’s choice of mail and passenger service between the Mississippi and California.
