"Here comes the Pony Express!" This was the cry that Dick Park heard when he first arrived in St. Joseph, Missouri, fresh from New York. The year was 1860. He was to meet his father, who was a rider and mail carrier for the famed Pony Express. But his father was not in St. Joe to meet him, and Dick had to continue his journey by stagecoach.
Riding the Pony Express is the story of Dick's adventures at Owl Creek, one of the way stations at which the riders changed horses. It is also the story of Katy Kelly, the daughter of the way station master, and Little Bear, an Indian boy. How they lived together, played together, and eventually helped to keep the mail moving is told in this simple, fast-moving tale.
Grace Paull's illustrations, full of detail and movement, capture the story of one of America's most exciting periods.
