In 1860, mail contractor Ben Holladay established the legendary Pony Express, a daring mail service that would operate for less than two years but leave an indelible mark on American frontier history.

Though the service was eventually discontinued after the telegraph reached California in 1861, it remains a powerful testament to the bravery of America's pioneers.
