From the history of American post
1. From the earliest times people used many methods to conveying messages as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
2. In American history the pony express was one of the most heroic adventures. The discovery of gold in California made it necessary to give important messages. The stage coaches (дилижанс) which regularly carried mail required months to reach California.
3. The pony express carried messages. It was a group of 80 young men of 18 years old. These courageous men carried mailing relays (по очереди) . They used five hundred of the finest horses available. At each of 190 stations along the route a fresh rider was ready. The management kept men under very strict rules. Every rider was given a Bible and was not allowed to drink and swear (ругаться) . The pony express had a remarkable career. To deliver mail the riders had to overcome great physical danger.
4. On April 3, 1860 the first rider started from Missouri and ten days later the message arrived in California which was two thousand miles away. A huge celebration was held in honour of this magnificent achievement. But the pony express had a short life of 16 months only.
5. In 1861 the completion of the first transcontinental telegraph line marked the end of the pony express.
