A historical account contrasts the Pony Express riders of 1860 covering 75 miles in eight days with an old Mongol named Tzoren-to who traveled 1800 miles in nine days. He prepared by bandaging his body and bore eagle feathers, carrying a special document and guards. The journey involved long sprints with changes of horses at stations and daily meals of broiled mutton.
