YELLING!! Pony Express
I really wouldn't say that the pony express was the beginning of communication in the 1860's they had mail delivery to the West long before the pony express it just took longer since it had to travel by ship or by stagecoach which could take about a month.. If your teacher is trying to state it was... then you should clarify if for him or her... Now the Pony Express was a rely system that cut the delivery time to about 10 days total... first the mail was sent by telegraphic communication (Morse code) covering about half the distance across the US and a the Pony Express carried it the rest of the way.
The invention and creation of the telegraph made a faster and cheaper method to send information across the nation, The Pony Express ended because of an advance in technology.
BY decreasing the time it takes for a message to travel across the U.S.
Pony Express, Telegraph, Telephone, CB Radio
The Pony Express route is in Illinois.
The telegraph is what ended the Pony Express
