William Robinson has hired as a Pony Express rider by Bolivar Roberts to ride the 140-mile route between Merced and Mariposa. One of his most famous rides involved carrying a judge's order to Mariposa so that the sheriff there could hold one Johnny Edmonds for trial for the murder of a bank teller. The ride had to be made within seventeen hours or the sheriff would have to let Edmonds go. Not only was the route through Indian country, but the Edmonds gang was lying in wait to intercept any dispatches. All was well until about twenty-five miles from Mariposa where he was ambushed by the Edmonds gang. Monroe was able to avoid capture and delivered the judge's order in time.

Under fair conditions, the Pony Express riders could carry the mail 2000 miles in 10 days.

To make communication "easier" although it took a very, very long time to send letters.

The first run of the Express was on April 3, 1860 and lasted 2 years. A rider would cover two hundred miles a day for 10 days, changing horses every 10 miles. The route followed the settler's trail .

The telegraph is what ended the Pony Express

Yes, the Pony Express was effectively put out of business by the Overland Mail Company, which began its operations in 1861. The Overland Mail Company provided a more efficient and reliable mail service using stagecoaches, significantly reducing delivery times compared to the Pony Express. By October 1861, the Pony Express ceased operations due to financial difficulties and the competition from the Overland Mail Company, which could transport mail more economically and at a larger scale.

They used a relay system .

Every few miles there was a station where the rider would quickly transfer his mail bags and himself to a fresh horse.

The Pony Express was a fast mail service crossing the North American continent from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California from 3 April 1860 until October 1861.

The Pony Express started in April 1860 and operated until October 1861 in St Joseph MO to Sacramento CA. People in the eastern US needed a fast way to send letters to people in the west.

The Pony Express ran from St. Joseph, Missouri to San Francisco, California.

Between St. Joseph Missouri and San Francisco California.

The riders for the pony express had to know how to ride REALLY Good. They would ride at day at night and have to watch out for dangers. Most old ads said they were looking for wiry fellows who were younger maybe in their older teen ages. the government prefered orphans, so if the riders got hurt, they wouldn't be "missed"

I'm sure it was signal flags
