Description

The Story of the Pony Express offers an in depth account behind the need for a mail route to connect the eastern U. S. with the rapidly populating west coast following the gold rush of California, the springing up of lumber camps, and all incidental needs arising from the settling of the western frontier. Here we learn of the inception of the Pony Express, its formation, successes, failures, facts, statistics, combined with many anecdotes and names of the people who were an integral part of this incredible entity which lasted but less than two years, yet was instrumental in the successful settlement of two thirds of the land mass comprising the expanding country. Born April 12, 1884, in Kinderhook, Michigan, Glenn D. Bradley earned a Ph.D. in history at the University of Michigan. He taught history in various high schools and later became an associate professor of history at Municipal University, Toledo, Ohio; and also for a time he taught English at Michigan University. He was a member of several associations for the advancement of history. He died on January 4, 1930, in Toledo, Ohio. Among his works are the books: Winning the Southwest: A Story of Conquest (circa 1912); The Story of the Pony Express (1913); The Story of the Santa Fe (circa 1920); and Fort Meigs in the War of 1812 (1930).
