This video features rare and valuable mail that tells the history of the Pony Express from a view point you have never seen. It is focused on the Wyoming portion of the Pony Express route. I am a 20 year collector of this material and I will give you insights into the world of rare cover collecting.

Corrections from a viewer smarter than I am The lincoln cover was sent 4 months prior to his election The manuscript above Ft Bridger reads 8.4 M NW” (8.4 miles northwest of) Ft. Bridger. Showing it was picked up just outside ft. Bridger.

Thanks, this reminded me of the 1989 TV series "Young Riders". Enjoyed it when I was young but I'm not sure if I'd actually still enjoy it today.

That struggle is real. I recently rewatched a Police Academy movie from the 80s that I used to love as a kid and it was awful

When people say they wish objects could talk they're taking about things like this

I lived in California when I was very young. One of our neighbors was an engineer who came from New England at the turn of the 20th century and was far into his 80's. he investigated old mines and checked them for possible reopening or feasibility. in some of the old offices he found cabinets full of old letters and took some that were interesting including a few pony express letters. Alas when my parents were trying to help the old couple and got them a housekeeper she stole a drawer full of the letters he had saved from years b4. She was prosecuted for that as well as other items she stole. The letters i have no idea what happened to them.

@johnscamardo2145 wow! Old filing cabinets in old mines are the dream. I can't imagine finding a fistful of pony express covers

Your excitement is apparent in your delivery, but speaking a bit more slowly would permit the listener to take in more of what you say. Also, as a cover collector, I would have appreciated a bit more time to see each cover. Some of them were shown much too briefly. Great material you have shown. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the feedback Scott and I agree with your assessment. Particularly that we flipped through the images too fast

Pony express is such an interesting thing to me I really hope to find the time soon to learn more about it tho it's kinda hard I got really deep in. Warhammer 40k and Lord of the rings lore/books and collectables and now I was thinking picking up 3d printing to . To make few minis and paint them ❤❤

I have never been into it but I have to say the Warhammer 40k minis are super cool.
