Pony Express and Stage Coach-icons of the Western Frontier The opening of the great North American interior during the 19th century has passed into legend. This was the 'Wild West' and its personalities and great events have become familiar to almost everyone. This was a time of lawmen and outlaws, the U. S. cavalrymen in 'dirty shirt blue', the hostile tribes of feathered warriors and the cowboys of the great cattle drives. The lines of the covered wagons took pioneers across plains and deserts to create new towns, ranches and farms. The key to the success of the opening of continent for American settlers was, of course, communication. Before the building of a trans-continental railroad or telegraph lines a solution was required to quickly carry news, freight and people across this often dangerous land. This book contains two essential works on this subject. The first is the exciting life of a great American innovator, Alexander Majors, who was, with his partners, responsible for the creation of the famous Pony Express and an overland stage-coach service. The second focusses on the daredevil riders of the Pony Express who included among their number a young, 'Buffalo Bill' Cody. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
