Pony Express Revival Along the Overland Trail
The Pony Express will run again next September in a staged revival from St Joseph Missouri to Sacramento California as part of a Mark Twain and Bret Harte tribute. Former Senator Phelan of California leads the effort with two riders releasing greetings from President Barding while teams swap horses every ten miles to mirror historic speeds. The event echoes the era before the Union Pacific railroad when riders from cattle ranges and army posts carried mail across the Overland Route ending with Promontory Utah in 1869.
