Pony Express Never Used Ponies
The Pony Express made deliveries from April 1860 until October of 1861. I have no idea why Pony Express was used to name the service because only horses were used. Well, maybe a few mules too.
William Russell, Alexander Majors and William Waddell owned the Leavenworth & Pike s Peak Express Company. They were pioneer stagecoach operators who came up with the idea of the Pony Express to cut down on mail delivery time.
The typical delivery took 25 days by stagecoach to California. The average delivery time for the Pony Express was 10 days. That s better than some of the mail I ve received in recent times.
