	Founding of the Pony Express - 1860
		Seventy-five men, none of them weighing over one hundred and ten pounds, were engaged as riders, being selected on account of their bravery, their capacity for deprivation and their horsemanship, as well as for their shooting abilities and their knowledge of the craft and the manner of attack of the Indians.
		Prior to the advent of the Pony Express the newspapers had succeeded in having a telegraph wire run from San Francisco to Stockton and thence through the San Joaquin Valley and over the Tehachapi's to Los Angeles, the idea being to anticipate the arrival in San Francisco of the southern stage.
		They were blasting a path for their steel highway out of the very sides of the steep west slopes of California's great natural wall, and up that path the little wood-burning locomotives that, like the stage coaches, had been brought around the Horn in clipper ships, were already tugging patiently.

	PBS - THE WEST - William F. Cody
		He is supposed to have won the name "Buffalo Bill" in an eight-hour shooting match with a hunter named William Comstock, presumably to determine which of the two Buffalo Bill’s deserved the title.
		In later years Buffalo Bill’s Wild West would star the sharpshooter Annie Oakley, the first "King of the Cowboys," Buck Taylor, and for one season, "the slayer of General Custer," Chief Sitting Bull.
		Though he was by this time almost wholly absorbed in his celebrity existence as Buffalo Bill, Cody still had a real-life reputation in the West, and in 1890 he was called back by the army once more during the Indian uprisings associated with the Ghost Dance.

	A Short History of the Pony Express and Overland Mail in White Pine County, Nevada
		The Pony Express Trail was eventually approximated by U.S. Highway 50, the Loneliest Road, except for the segment within eastern Nevada.
		Due to completion of the telegraph line, as well as poor economic returns and bad business practices by the operators of the Pony Express, the pounding hooves of the galloping ponies and their intrepid riders were stilled forever after a short business span of about 19 and 1/2 months.
		Even though the Pony Express is long gone, the memory of this thrilling episode in American history is preserved by the important efforts of modern day riders in White Pine County, Nevada.

	Pony Express
		One of the 157 Pony Express riders was Col. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
		At age 14, he was employed as a Pony Express rider, one of the youngest on the line.
		From the pommel of his saddle hung, on each side, a bag lettered "Overland Pony Express." The broad saddle, wooden stirrups, immense flappers to guard the rider's feet, and the girth that knows no buckle, were of the sort customary in California for swift horsemen who appreciate mud.
