Summary
Responding to the enduring lure of the West, Jerry Ellis decides to follow the trail of the Pony Express, a shor-lived, hell-for-leather mail delivery service that lasted just one and a half years staring in 1860 but has become an enduring part of the U.S.'s Western mythos. Ellis succeds in completing his 2100 miles journey by foot, horseback, covered wagon, hitchhiking, and canoe.
