"This Day in (Old West) History: September 12, 1972

Ah-h-h! Nostalgia at its finest and completely irreplaceable...that's the Westerns! The advent of motion pictures, the senses of cinema, brought history to life, especially back in the days of the ol' West. The rugged mountainous terrain, a rough-and-tumble dusty life, travel by foot, horseback, covered wagon or stagecoach, and the sound of the swinging saloon doors reverberating as they whipped open...Enter the tough cowboy with a huge chip on his shoulder."

Giddy-up! Common words from a cowboy of the Old West, whether on horseback or the horse hitched to a stagecoach. Yet, none rang out any louder than from the riders of the Pony Express. Back in the days of the wild west, no Fed Ex was available, no Postal Service ran that far west, no planes, and delivery by ship was likely to take months if it ever got there at all.

Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Seeing the need for a specialized delivery service, Leavenworth and Pike’s Peak Express Company took an opportunity to expand into this void. From this important decision was born one of the most iconic pieces of American History—The Pony Express. No event in American History has captured the imagination of young and old alike, more than the excitement created by those young riders and their horses, as they rode across the western half of our continent.
