+ Who were the founders? The Pony Express was founded by William H. Russell, William B. Waddell, and Alexander Majors. Add picture

+ What was the reason? The Pony Express was first made up because of the Civil War and the need for faster communication with the West. Add picture

+ What did the Pony Express consist of? It consisted of groups of young men riding horses carrying sacks of mail across a 2000-mile trail. Add picture

+ When did it start? The Pony Express officially got started on April 3, 1860, when riders left from St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. The first trip was made in 9 days and 23 hours and the second trip was made in 11 days and 12 hours. Add picture

+ The Pony Riders The pony riders covered 250 miles in a 24-hour day. The Pony Express had more than 100 stations, 80 riders, and around 500 horses. The service lasted only 19 months until October 24, 1861, when the completion of the Pacific Telegraph line ended the need for its existence.

+ The end of the Pony Express California relied on news from the Pony Express during the early days of the Civil War, but the horse line was never a financial success, leading the Pony Express founders to bankruptcy. Add picture
