The original Pony Express goes back to the 1800′s. Then it cost $5.00 to send a first class letter, today it cost $0.44 to send a letter. They hired small men to run Pony Express for faster speed and less ware on the horses. These men had to make an oath:

“While I am the employ of A. Majors, I agree not use profane language, not to get drunk, not to gamble, not to treat animals cruelly and not to do anything else that is incompatible with the conduct of a gentleman. And I agree, if I violate any of the above conditions, to accept my discharge without any pay for my services.” Buffalo Bill Cody was the best rider. He ran 100 miles at one time. (more…)
