From the Pony Express National Historic Trail:
The ad appeared in the March 19, 1860 edition in the Sacramento Union.
While it was only in operation between April 1860 and October 1861, it was able to get mail between St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California (1800 miles) in 10 days — a pace that Canada Post still yearns to match! (Oh, by the way, there’s a good chance of a postal lockout up here. Yay, Canada!)
The express was set up to have a fresh horse every 10-15 miles and a fresh rider every 75-100 miles.
