Spirit of the Pony Express
This film was made as a celebration of the short-lived but historic mail delivery service, The Pony Express. 150 years after it began, historians, riders, and history buffs come together to stage a re-enactment along the original trail from Sacramento, California to Saint Joseph, Missouri. This made-from-the-heart film evokes the spirit of The West and shows what the historic sites are like today.
