Pony Express Quotes

“Farewell Pony: Our little friend, the Pony, is to run no more ... Thou wert the pioneer of a continent in the rapid transmission of intelligence between its peoples, and have dragged in your train the lightning itself, which, in good time, will be followed by steam communication by rail. Rest upon your honors ... Rest then, in peace; for thou hast run thy race, thou hast followed thy course, thou hast done the work that was given thee to do. - Sacramento Daily Bee, October 26,1861”
― Stephanie Grace Whitson, Messenger By Moonlight

“Often all riders had to eat were beans, bacon, corn bread, and coffee.”
― Amy C. Rea, The Pony Express
