Pony Express Riders Endured 16 Months Of Harsh Frontier Travel
The Pony Express carried about 20 pounds of mail per rider trip across 75 to 85 miles segments, with horses changed every 10 to 12 miles. Rates dropped from 5 to 1 dollar per half ounce under government pressure, amid Civil War looming. Riders faced Indians and migrants, with many stationmen and riders killed and stations burned. Only one mail pouch was lost when a rider collided with a wandering ox on the Platte. Despite disasters, mail kept moving as riders died, yet the horse and pouch often survived to deliver the next leg.
