The fascinating history of the Pony Express unfolds in this historical novel for young readers aged 8 to 14. The Pony Express operated only 19 months from April 3, 1860 to October 24, 1861, but it captured America's thirst for adventure, and it fulfilled an important communication link between the new State of California and the rest of the Country during the unsettled period before the Civil War.Remarkably, most riders were teenagers. The Pony Express relied on the ability and endurance of small riders weighing less than 125 pounds. Despite their young ages, the brave and dedicated mail riders faced danger from wild animals, hostile Indians, and severe weather.Jake Hooter was one of these brave youngsters. Based upon true stories told by riders and horsemen employed by the Pony Express, Jake encounters Indians, wolves, snakes, and hardship. He endures searing heat, bone chilling cold, and a raging blizzard during his rides to deliver the mail.As a result of a crippling injury to his father, Jake is forced to leave his family's horse ranch in order to earn money to sustain it. He develops from a homesick boy to a dedicated and responsible young Pony Express carrier.Although the Pony Express operated for a short time, it was the period around the election of Abraham Lincoln and the terrible turmoil among the States regarding slavery. Rapid communication between Washington and California was considered vital. The news of President Lincoln's election was carried across the plains in record time, and the thrilling account of Jake's ride is an historical highlight in the story.Children who love horses will enjoy the major role they play in the tale. Jake develops a close relationship with a special pony that saves him on more than one occasion.Enhanced with 31 story illustrations and filled with action based on true events, this historical novel for children from 8 to 14 provides character development, action, and adventure.

Jake Tyler never set out to build a reputation as a gun fighter but when the rumors start to spread that you're a lightening fast draw they bring the fights to you and you either answer or die. Jake Tyler never killed anyone that didn't draw on him first, until his best friend is killed in an ambush. As he begins to unravel the reasons behind Tom's death he finds himself in the middle of a deadly family squabble and on the verge of losing the one thing that keeps him from becoming a cold blooded killer; his conscience.
'And so, ' his grandfather said, continuing the story as he gently squeezed Jake's hand, 'the land retains the soul of those who have died, of the soldier and the commoner too...and so the dead grow though they are dead, and so the dead live though they are no longer alive.' The importance of the past, of memory itself, haunts the imagination and lives of the characters in these stories. They remember those they have known and lost, and whom, in strange encounters, they meet again and again.

"Yes, eight floors and all are the hospitals." "Good, just imagine you are on the eighth floor and it caught fire, how would you escape?" "That is very simple, I will simply stop my imaginations or rather I will not allow my imaginations get to that point." "So, you know this is a hospital and you would be coming across things like the body's composition and all. So, what is a skeleton?" "Well sir, a skeleton is one who started dieting and forgot to stop." "If there were to be liquid on the hospital floor and you are going through it, what would you do to avoid falling or getting hurt?" "I will simply ride with the tide and not struggle against it." "Well, I have never thought of that before myself. That is a weird but intelligent answer." "You are only but a doctor and not versed in other ways like we are."
