Why was the pony express a faster mail service than the butterfield overland mail service?

People who rode the Pony express ran the horses as fast as they could all the way to the checkpoint. The horses that pulled Stagecoaches walked which made them slower than the Pony Express. There were no boats with engines when the Pony Express was around so boats moved slower and faster depending on the weather and it all had to be done by hand.

How long did pony express horses survive?

Most of the Pony Express horses far outlived the Pony Express. Although most of us know or have at least heard of the Pony Express it only lasted a year. Hollywood may have played a part in making it seem bigger than it really was. The horses that were used were in a lot of cases the rider's person mounts. What belonged to the US government were absorbed into other federal jobs that were in need of horses. (most likely the military)


How was the invention of the telegraph viewed by Westerners?

They did not like the fact it was faster than their horses, especially after robbing a bank! In the United States (including the West), the Morse telegraph was successful for a number of reasons, including its simple operation and its relatively low cost. By 1851, the country had more than 50 telegraph companies. This would lead to the company we know today as, "Western Union." As for the Pony Express, the telegraph was much faster, and could reach the entire world by 1861. Also, to write a letter for the pony express to deliver, you were only allowed to write on 1 page of very thin paper, depending on where it was going, you would have to wait up to 3 weeks to get a letter in some areas of the country. The biggest thing about the operation of the mailing of letters was they charged up to $5.00 to mail just 1 letter, and that kind of money was very hard to come by back in those days!

Did Morgan horses pull the pony express?

Well no horse 'pulled' the Pony Express as it was a company and not a stage coach type set up. The horses were ridden at a steady gallop, and any horse that could cover distance at a regular pace were used. So more than likely Morgans were used at some point.
