Abstract
"Orphans wanted, / Riders, rough. / Risk death daily, / Must be tough." Sparse and rhyming verse tells the exciting but short-lived story of the Pony Express. As letters are delivered between two far-flung siblings, readers witness the famous mail system in action: courageous riders race through beautiful but harsh landscapes populated by an array of inhabitants, from Native Americans and cowboys to soldiers and settlers. -- Description by Jen Hatch.
