As A Good Horse Is Not Very

We Had Avoided Discovery By The Sioux Scouts, And We Were Confident Of Giving Them A Complete Surprise.

The Greatest Of All The Sioux In My Time, Or In Any Time For That Matter, Was That Wonderful Old Fighting Man, Sitting Bull, Whose Life Will Some Day Be Written By A Historian Who Can Really Give Him His Due.

Stations Were Built At Intervals Averaging Fifteen Miles Apart. A Rider's Route Covered Three Stations, With An Exchange Of Horses At Each, So That He Was Expected At The Beginning To Cover Close To Forty-five Miles - A Good Ride When One Must Average Fifteen Miles An Hour.

Indians Were Frequently Off Their Reservations.

Excitement Was Plentiful During My Two Years' Service As A Pony Express Rider.
