Pony Express Bold Riders and Arizona Ranger War
The piece recalls the Pony Express legend with interviews and anecdotes about Aubrey, 200 stations, 100 riders, 500 staff, and seven day reaches. It details brutal frontier travel, dangers from Indians and road agents, and the shift to Overland stage and telegraph. It then covers Burt Mossman leading rangers against outlaws in Apache county with battles at Paradise Park and Blue River country, and a long list of outlaw incidents and responses in Arizona.
