About this title

Synopsis

Can you cope with long hours in the saddle, floods, snow, outlaws, and even a brief war with Native Americans?

This interactive series will enthrall young and reluctant readers (Ages 8-12) by making them part of the story, inviting them to become the main character. Each book uses humorous illustrations to depict the sometimes dark and horrific side of life during important eras in history.

It's 1860, and a new mail service is starting up. Fearless young riders will carry mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, in less than 10 days!
