PONY EXPRESSO ORLAND MOVIE
It contains a number of historical facts woven into the story, and the book is going to be made into a TV movie as a contemporary, sometime in 2019.For an 18-month span from 1860 to 1861, one of the quickest and most reliable ways to send mail across the United States was via the Pony Express. My featured book is Finding Love in Bridal Veil, Oregon, a historical romance set in 1904 in the Columbia River Gorge, where I live. It aired on UP TV in January and is now available on Hallmark on Demand. She had the privilege of having one of her book, Runaway Romance, made into a movie.

Miralee Ferrell is a best-selling, award-winning writer who lives in the Pacific NW with her husband, two dogs, two cats and seven chickens. In 1992, Congress added the trail to the National Trails System as a Historic Trail, administered by the National Park Service. NPEA was established in 1978 to honor the memory and endeavors of the Pony Express riders of 1860-1861 and to identify, preserve, and mark the original Pony Express route through the eight states it crossed: Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. The National Pony Express Association (NPEA) strives to keep the spirit and memory of the Pony Express alive. So why did the Pony Express fade away after only 18 months? The first transcontinental telegraph was established October 24, 1861, where messages could be sent easily from one side of the country to the other. At each station stop the express rider would change to a fresh horse, taking only the mail pouch called a mochila (from the Spanish for pouch or backpack) with him. In 1860, there were about 186 Pony Express stations that were about 10 miles (16 km) apart along thePony Express route.
Riders encountered Indian attack, accidents, wild animals, and other dangerous situations on their ride across country, risking their lives to deliver the mail. It's also hard to conceive that a man riding a selection of horses, trading off at each station for a fresh horse, and traveling on trails and dirt road and crossing eight states, could make it from Missouri to California, a trail cover 1966 miles, in 10 days! Buffalo Bill Cody was one of the most famous riders who worked for the Pony Express and made those wild rides from East to West. , do hereby swear, before the Great and Living God, that during my engagement, and while I am an employee of Russell, Majors, and Waddell, I will, under no circumstances, use profane language, that I will drink no intoxicating liquors, that I will not quarrel or fight with any other employee of the firm, and that in every respect I will conduct myself honestly, be faithful to my duties, and so direct all my acts as to win the confidence of my employers, so help me God." And I love this oath-can you imagine anyone asking an employee to sign this today? From Wikipedia. The actual name of the company wasn't Pony Express, it was the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company. He presented each rider with a special edition Bible and required this oath, which they were also required to sign. Majors was a religious man and resolved "by the help of God" to overcome all difficulties. The undertaking assembled 120 riders, 184 stations, 400 horses, and several hundred personnel during January and February 1861. William Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Waddell organized and put together the Pony Express in two months in the winter of 1860. The Pony Express was set up on a different basis.

Here's an interesting quote from a reporter who rode the stage/mail route on the very first trip. This drawing is a good representation showing the wild mules used to pull the stage wagons on the rougher sections of the trail.
