We finally finished this book. We didn't learn much about the Pony Express which was why we chose to read this book. We also didn't learn a whole lot about race in the west in the 1850s. We didn't learn too much about mixed race problems in that time either. It tried to address all of these issues and just kind of missed on all of them from lack of focus. There was some good description of the place and of riding horses but it took us longer to read than is should have because we weren't totally drawn in. Perhaps it would have been better as a read to yourself rather than read aloud.… (mer)
