The Western Expansion Communication and Shipping: Marina was introduced to the Pony Express and telegraph as means of delivering mail and communication. The Pony Express delivered mail from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. It took about 8 to 10 days travel time; before it took at least 25 days to deliver mail. Young horsemen would ride horses through
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, to California, risking life daily. The Pony Express was soon replaced by telegraph taking only minutes to send a message. Good Job Marina.
