In April 1860, the Pony Express began delivery of mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. The mail was then taken by boat to San Francisco. Relays of young, lightweight, riders covered the 3,164-km (1,966-mi) journey in about 10 days. These riders faced hazardous weather conditions and hostile Native Americans. The Pony Express closed in October 1861, when transcontinental telegraph lines
were completed.
