Description: The Pony Express is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the American West in the 19th century. The Pony Express is also a reminder of how transportation networks and technology can still have a profound effect on society today. The Pony Express was the first long-distance transportation network in the United States, and it operated between April 3, 1860 and October 26, 1861. The Pony Express was in operation for only six months, but it’s still remembered today as a testament to how important a transportation network can be. The Pony Express was used to transport mail across the vast and sparsely-populated American West. The West, being the largest geographic region in the country at the time, was the perfect place for the Pony Express.
