Artist's Description

The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages, newspapers, mail, and small packages from St. Joseph, Missouri, across the Great Plains, over the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada to Sacramento, California, by horseback, using a series of relay stations. One of those stations is marked here on the North Platte River near Register Cliffs close to Guernsey, Wyoming.

During its 18 months of operation, the Pony Express riders reduced the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to about 10 days. From April 3, 1860, to October 1861, it became the West's most direct means of east - west communication before the telegraph was established and was vital for tying the new state of California with the rest of the country.

I owned and operated a professional studio in central Kansas for 20 years and moved to Colorado in 1994. Part of the studio's early success came from creating outdoor portraiture using controlled lighting...
