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.
