The Pony Express was a fast-horse frontier mail service that spanned the American West— the high, dry, and undeniably lonesome part of North America. While in operation during the 1860s, it carried letter mail on a blistering ten-day schedule between Missouri and San Francisco, running through a vast and mostly uninhabited wilderness. It covered a massive distance—akin to running horses between Madrid and Moscow— and to this day, the Pony Express...

The town of Moab is a fascinating place with a fascinating history. This book is the "story" of Moab, not a "history" of the place. There's a difference. For one thing, storytelling is more fun. History tends to bog down in the minutia of events. When recounting history, too often the dates, names, facts, figures, and sources become all-important. Telling stories, on the other hand, still conveys the truth of historical events, but without the stress...
