HISTORICAL NOTE

In 1860, the Pony Express relied on speed and security to deliver mail across 1,900 miles of wilderness. While riders carried 'mochila' bags, the staging stations and heavy transfers used iron-tagged locks to protect high-priority dispatches. This piece honors the daring spirit of 1860 and the industrial craftsmanship of early American express delivery.
