| Pony Express National Historic Trail :- The Pony Express National Historic Trail was used by young men on fast paced horses to carry the nation's mail across the country, from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California, in the unprecedented time of only ten days. Organized by private entrepreneurs, the horse-and-rider relay system became the nation's most direct and practical means of east-west communications before the telegraph. Though only in operation for 18 months, between April 1860 and October 1861, the trail proved the feasibility of a central overland transportation route, and played a vital role in aligning California with the Union in the years just before the Civil War. ACCESSIBILITY For information about accessibility at facilities along the Pony Express Trail, contact the local site administrator or the appropriate state tourism offices. Pony Express National Historic Trail Logo The National Park Service recently unveiled the approved logo (see above) of the Pony Express National Historic Trail. The logo was developed over a 3 year period in cooperation with the National Park Service guidelines, and input from interested groups such as the National Pony Express Association. The logo shows a Pony Express Rider galloping out of a triangle, with a burnish orange background. The concept was first presented at the 1996 National Director's Meeting in Seneca, Kansas. After input from the NPEA, it was refined at the 19917 meeting in Tooele, Utah, and unveiled in Julesburg last fall. |
