The Pony Express: Living the Ride

This documentary film chronicles current-day horseback riders bravely re-enacting the legendary Pony Express, as they gallop night and day over Nevada's largely unchanged trail, moving the mail pouch between Sacramento and St. Joseph, Missouri. Commentary from a descendant of an early Paiute leader provides historical context, and local archaeologists share artifacts excavated from original pony express stations still dotting the land.
