Requests:  0 Summary:  While in operation during the 1860s, the Pony Express carried letter mail on a blistering ten-day schedule between Missouri and San Francisco, running through a vast and mostly uninhabited wilderness. To this day, the Pony Express is irrefutably the greatest display of American horsemanship to ever color the pages of a history book. Inspired by what he had read about the service, Grant decided to ride the train himself with his two horses, from one end to another. Here he shares encounters with the ranchers, farmers, historians, and businessmen who populate the trail. His exploits on horseback offer an intimate portrait of how the West has evolved from the rough and tumble 19th century to the present. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Grant Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Grant Checked out 06/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.80434 Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
