Pioneer Flashbacks Quig Nielsen Five dollars per half ounce to send a letter from New York to San Francisco! That was the charge to carry a letter across the continent. In 1859 a trio of St Louis businessmen conceived the idea of rushing a pony express across the country by solitary horsemen. This history making operation began in 1860 with each horseman carrying 15 pounds of letters. Stations were located about 24 miles apart and each rider, at the rate of eight miles an hour, spanned three stations as his days ride. Letters mailed in New York would now arrive in San Francisco in 13 days. When Fort Sumter was fired upon, starting the Civil War, the news came to SaltLakeCity via pony express in seven days, and San Francisco heard of the wars their routes regardless of snow and storm, or savages and beasts of prey, yet not without the sacrifice of life. Riding alone there were occasions when the riders were chased by savages. Bancroft in his History of California writes The high charges prevented the line from being profitably patronized; it seldom carried over 200 letters, and at times less than 20; the best pay came from a mail contracL With the completion of the overland telegraph in November of 1861, the pony express was practically abandoned. In Utah, the pony express was popular with many young Mormons who proved to be among the most successful and fearless riders. It brought Washington and foreign news much quicker than in the days of the ox train telegraphs. Even though its tenure was short, beginning within nine days.
