Practically all these soldiers were assigned 98 THE PONY EXPRESS Throughout this crisis, news was re- ceived twice a week by the Pony Express, and, be it remembered, in less than half the time required by the old stage coach. Of its services then, no better words can be used than those of Hubert Howe Bancroft. It was the pony to which every one looked for deliverance ; men prayed for the safety of the little beast, and trembled lest the service should be discontinued. Telegraphic dispatches fro...m Washington and New York were sent to St. Louis and thence to Fort Kearney, whence the pony brought them to Sacramento where they were telegraphed to San Francisco. Great was the relief of the people when Hole's bill for a daily mail service was passed and the service changed from the Southern to the Central route, as it was early in the to routine and patrol duty in the far West, such as keeping down Indian revolts, and garrisoning forts, as a defense against any uprising of Indians, or pro- tection against Confederate invasion.
