Anybody who wants to learn more should visit the Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph MO. It is in the original stables. Each year they do a reenactment of the PE send-off.
I think they already did one ☺️ if not on this channel another one of theirs with Simon a while back. I remember learning about how they found his body in a parking lot haha
From 1866 until 1889, the Pony Express logo was used by stagecoach and freight company Wells Fargo, which provided secure mail service. Wells Fargo used the Pony Express logo for its guard and armored-car services. The logo continued to be used when other companies took over the security business into the 1990s. Since 2001, the Pony Express logo is no longer used for security businesses, since the business has been sold.
I assume comments are read from the producers so here we go. I watched every single video on biographics, today I learned, and a few other channels. Biographics has a special place in my heart. Anytime I am sick, Nyquil and Bipgraphics are there for me. That said, I am back after trying to watch a few times and want to offer feedback without the "OMG wheres Simon" as I am aware of what went on. Thumbnail Graphics: The style has changed a few times since the changes. However, the most recent one is very unappealing. "Dont judge a book by its cover" should be in effect but online it plays a big part. Idk who has made changes but loved the old format. Biographies: After the transition, it seems as though we have alot less interesting subjects. I loved that there was anything from war lords to authors to athletes. I would highly suggest going back to whatever manner it was you used to select subjects. The Host: I honestly like this most recent host and didnt mind the last one either. However, I feel as though the timing and the subject matter really limits whoever is goingnto be hosting. Pacing with simon with chapters etc. Made the content easy to follow. Also, their needs to be time edits for the chapters for people who go back and reference the information. I hope this helps and I will be looking out for any good content.

I'm going to assume anyone watching this video likes Wild West history. If you ever visit St. Joseph, you can not only see the PX museum but also the house that Jesse James died in within blocks of each other. Lots of other cool museums there, like an old asylum.
HP Lovecraft was my muse and time-distant hero. I wrote several stories and dark poetry under his influence. (Never published.) I'll be looking up your work, sir.
12:40 so the reason they wouldnt leave behind the Bible is in case they died on route and had to be buried quickly far from their home and home church. Because of this the riders would have a Bible with them so that whoever found their body could read from the Bible and give them a proper burial as it was believed failing to do so would cause your soul to be condemned to purgatory. Thankyou for Bible Ranch camp for that story. Is it true? Who the heck knows? (besides God 😉😉)
Actually they were issued the Bible when they were hired and were required by company rules to carry it with them on their routes. It was to remind them of their oath.
The negative graphics of child labor! The dumba## people that push modern laziness of precious children into history irritates me. Children often did not attend school, but helped parents and other adults to live. Children grew up faster. Calling the pony Express a failure is idiotic. Not impressed by your negative take on history.
That 14 year old with a revolver taking out 7 is impressive. It’s insane to compare what literal children had to go through compared to today.
Most kids today are still questioning their gender.

This was definitely a good one! The Biographics team had a ball with this one and it shows!

"The Great and Living God. Do they mean Cthulhu?" Laughed out loud at that one. I love Cthulhu and cosmic horror.
Cheers Eric! Please keep on that sweet Wild West content coming :D
i used to live on the pony express when I was a child living in California in the city of Camino the pony express is history they are proud of
Great video! 🏇📬 The Pony Express was truly remarkable. Thanks for the awesome insight! 🌟
Humorously written with attention to detail
St Joseph native here. Its the "pay-T" house
Perils included “Slipping on wet rocks while disembarking” 😂

Excellent video! Thank you.
Love your content Eric ❤❤❤
No, the great and living God isn't Cthulhu, Eric. He's the great and dreaming Old One. 😁
Great subject. Love, from Albuquerque.
I used to be a tour guide at the home of one of the men who ran the Pony Express. I have also been to St Joseph where it started.
Grew up in St Joe. It's cool to see your small hometown mentioned occasionally
@balisongman07 yes. I grew up in Grandview and I volunteered at Alexander Majors house
14 walked them down with a 6 shot he was definitely a hitter doc Holiday would be proud
Thanks for the video
Suggestion eric: Henry III of england

That was Richard III

Why is the only thing I want to comment about in this video is the presenter’s obviously dyed hair and his widow’s peak?
Carl slayed 😂
Should do an episode on the Mongolian Yam system.
I feel like nobody but him calls him Cosmic Horror Madman. And boy does he love to
Ironically, The Pony Express was faster than the modern day postal system being destroyed from within.

The images at 1:58 are NOT those of a stagecoach. Those are covered or Conestoga wagons used by settlers migrating west.
Wait wait wait…WHERE’S SIMON (no hate to Eric)
Simon left almost year and half ago
Bros over a year late
Thanks.
I'm just imagining Billy Tate going out in a scene like the opening to the first Deadpool movie tbh 😅
Was their plan to become a government contractor and just get bailed out?
To be fair i don't think the pony express was a bad idea. The train just took over.
Very well written with lots of enthusiasm and humor. No offense but this is definitely the better way: Karl writing, not hosting.
What a weird business model
Who is Carl and why are you thanking him at about 3:23? Or did you mean Karl? I really am wondering. Did I miss something obvious?

When did they get a difference host ?
Bruh… Over a year ago.

Where's Simon?
He died
Yay, child labor!
Where is karl
He died

You lay on the cynicism and lame obtuse jokes thick. Really annoying. I'm going to go look for a serious history channel now. That is all.
You probably shouldn't make a video of a subject if you hate it.... geez, you're pretentious
Smug mockery of religion is unnecessary, just provide facts about the tooic.
Do one on Joe Biden.
Too much corruption for that.
He can do it in one word: jrhwbsvjsfbbehshfbbrm
Yes. Joe Biden has ived a long and fascinating life in public service. President Biden would be a great Biographic.
@@pooryorick831thank you!!
@@mattt233They only do dead people. So wait for like a year or so and they’ll be able to do Biden.

It was a financial failure. It never made a profit i.e failure. As far as the child labor thing - the past is the worst.😅
Shouldnt this b n *Today I Found Out* ?

It's only lasted a year and a half. Not much to talk about.
That dismissive attitude is why you won't learn from history. The Nazi Reich " only " lasted a few years, but look at what they did
@@Chino56751Well that escalated quickly
@@j.a.weishaupt1748 Still important history
I bet P-tolomy had a Pony Express.
