This ad in a California bi-weekly 150 years ago captures the spirit, if not the absolute statistics of the Pony Express.
Daredevil riders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], braving top mountains and baking deserts, blinding blizzards and/or dust storms forth with the acceptable rain, sleet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], snow and aphotic of night, fabricated an enduring mark on the American consciousness, although the account lasted beneath than two years.
You all apperceive about the Pony Express, right? This band-aid transcontinental mail service, a blue-blooded accomplishment to acceleration the California-Missouri mail from 30 canicule by stagecoach to just 10 days, is the being of which legends are made.
To bless the sesquicentennial, we are traveling to localize this Wild West tale. Nothing makes a bigoted columnist happier than an befalling to accompany a civic adventure home.
We apperceive that no Pony Express riders galloped through this sleepy, pueblo-turned-town in 1860,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], six years afterwards it absent the county-seat appellation to a audacious new adjustment which had a actual baby capital and not abundant abroad to offer. “Dogs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dust and whiskey-drinkers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” a Sonoma bi-weekly editor wrote,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], anecdotic cipher Santa Rosa.
Home, in this instance, is Sonoma — Sonoma City, as it was accepted in 1860,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to differentiate it from the county.
