How long did the Pony Express last?
The system of mail delivery by horse-and-rider relays lasted only 18 months, from April 1860 to October 1861.
It connected Saint Joseph, Missouri, with Sacramento, California, a distance of 1,800 miles.
The completion of the transcontinental telegraph system brought the Pony Express to an end.
