==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The [[wikipedia:Pony Express|Pony Express]] is a reference to the old mail system where riders would take fast horses from checkpoint to checkpoint, picking up mail and getting a new horse at each one. It lasted from April 1860 to October 1861, only slightly more than a year, but it made a major impact.
