In 1860, The Pony Express meant people could, for the first time, send letters from New York to San Francisco in ten days. The system was simple; it required riders to change horses quickly at remote stations along their routes. Attacked by bandits or Indians and forced to endure extreme weather, these riders had to be resourceful and tough as nails. Successful mail delivery depended on the endurance and ability of these young, hardy riders and their fast horses.

Mitchell Stone leaves his sweetheart in Kansas to try his luck out West. Things are bleak until he runs into Don Russell in Salt Lake City, a Pony Express hiring manager. Mitchell's quick wit and resolution in breaking up a saloon brawl impresses Russell so much, he offers to hire him the next day. What follows is a tale of a young man struggling to succeed as a Pony Express rider. He faces angry Paiute warriors, stampeding Buffalo and vengeful bandits as he rides the hazardous trails.

How will Mitchell fare against these odds? Will he overcome these deadly threats on his life as he rides for the Pony Express? Mitchell is torn - is it all worth it? When he discovers his true love back in Wichita is in danger, he has a choice to make, while he still can.

Enjoy this glimpse into our vibrant history as you ride along with the Pony Express.
