The Pony Express Imagine a relay race. One of the early mail systems, the Pony Express, was like a relay race. It was set up to get mail to the people living in the far West, like California. It used to take over a month to get a letter in the West. When people got tired of waiting for mail, two businessmen set up the Pony Express. It was like a relay race on horseback from Missouri to California. It was not used for all mail delivery, but it was only used for mail that needed to be delivered fast. This is how the Pony Express worked. A young rider grabbed a mailbag, jumped on a horse, and rode for ten miles at high speed. Then, the rider jumped on a fresh horse and kept going. The rider would change horses seven times before passing the mailbag to another rider. The next rider kept going for another seventy miles before passing on the mailbag. 9 Which is the best summary of this passage?
