THROUGH WINTERS FROZEN SILENCE

15hx15wx7d Edition of 100

The snow gets deep and the wind blows hard in the great American West in the dead of winter, driving temperatures far below zero. Riding through winter's lonely frozen silence hardly slowed these fearless riders at all. They broke trails where no one else dared to go. They saddled their own ponies when the men hired for that job refused to leave the warmth of their dugouts because it was cold. Even when they lost their ponies they would make it to the next station carrying the mochila with their precious mail intact. If all the individual stories of these mail carriers were ever told, no doubt they could fill volumes, although the Pony Express barely lasted 19 months.
