The next station is fifty miles away, and Charlie will have to ride through rocky mountains in the blinding rain to safely deliver the mail.

He replaced a rider who had been attacked by Native Americans. Before the stationkeepers could stop him, Charlie was on his horse and riding off with the mail. He rode for the Pony Express for five months until it closed. Seventy years later, in 1931, Charlie rode his horse cross-country. He delivered mail from the mayor of New York City to the mayor of San Francisco. It took him seven months! He was 81 years old when he did it. He made the trip in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Pony Express. He is the only man ever to have ridden his horse cross-country alone to deliver the mail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “WANTED. YOUNG, SKINNY, WIRY FELLOWS. NOT OVER 18. MUST BE EXPERT RIDERS. WILLING TO RISK DEATH DAILY. ORPHANS PREFERRED.” —California newspaper help-wanted ad, 1860 The Pony Express is one of the most celebrated and enduring chapters in the history of the United States, a story of the all-American traits of bravery, bravado, and entrepreneurial risk that are part of the very fabric of the Old West. No image of the American West in the mid-1800s is more familiar, more beloved, and more powerful than that of the lone rider galloping the mail across hostile Indian territory. No image is more revered. And none is less understood. Orphans Preferred is both a revisionist history of this magnificent and ill-fated adventure and an entertaining look at the often larger-than-life individuals who created and perpetuated the myth of “the Pony,” as it is known along the Pony Express trail that runs from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. The Pony Express is a story that exists in the annals of Americana where fact and fable collide, a story as heroic as the journey of Lewis and Clark, as complex and revealing as the legacy of Custer’s Last Stand, and as muddled and freighted with yarns as Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Orphans Preferred is a fresh and exuberant reexamination of this great American story.
