U. S. Pony Express riders were issued a water sack, a horn, a revolver and which other item?
Correct answer: Bible
Jooji
Probably came in handy while praying for a knife!🥴

I never realized that the Pony Express was in operation for only
19 months !
Guillermo
... and when exactly did they have time to read??
Suzy Z
Maybe we should go back to the pony express sometimes the USPS takes forever

The pocket watch would have been more useful.

The riders had to be between 18-21 years of age. Most older ones would have been too heavy for the requirements.

It's faster than the mail now!

Jooji, LOL

I feel sorry for all the poor ponies that were forced to run their horsie guts out. What a crying shame. Love horses.

Suzy Z, That's because we have a Postmaster who is financially invested in private mail delivery.

These young men had a lot of courage. I wonder how many died of injuries during their trek. Going over the Rocky Mountains
thousands feet above sea level weren't for the faint of heart
Player #33497296
KILLean17, ditto.
Tim
RushMama2112, I also thought the pocket watch would have been way more handy, he wouldn’t have had time to read it anyway!

Jooji, why would you pray for a knife when you have a revolver?

Could also trade that bible for other necessities as had more value then.
MJG
The pocket watch doesn’t make sense because your not going to be stopping to check the time. The binoculars make less sense because speed.

RushMama2112,
That's what I thought too. Got it wrong.

The Pony Express.. How cool!!
Player #29433463
train put them out of business. you still couldnt send goods via the telegraph
Guillermo
Jooji, that is priceless! 😁
BlueEyedAlien
I’ve always been surprised at the attention paid to the Pony Express because it was in business for just over 1 1/2 years. That’s romanticism for you. Of course, the telegraph put them out of business.

SuzyZabel, Being a mailman is not an easy job . Try it before being so critical.
Player #5100533
Player #2655037, They probably didn't want to go to HELL, like where you'll go if you burn a bible. It was a VERY dangerous job, I'm sure the riders did a little praying on rheir long journey?
Player NormChop
Jooji, I agree, thought it was a common sense answer

RushMama2112, ya that's what I chose wrong
