How often a full reenactment is ridden?
The NPEA conducts the Annual Pony Express Re-Ride in June of each year. The last one was from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, June 8 to 18, 2003. For information on all of the recent Re-Rides please go to the NPEA Page on the web site. Return to List Question: I would like any information you can give me on a telescope – it is 4″ long when compressed and approx. 7 1/2″ long when fully extended. It has a medal pony express logo on it stating “pony express – est.1860 – property of c.o.c. & p.p. express company”. It also has a medal cap on the end to protect the lens. I would like to know if it is from the original pony express or perhaps a replica. Answer: I have seen these telescopes offered for bid on eBay. The ads usually say that they are replicas. None of my research ever stated that the Pony Express carried such telescopes.
