On The Pony Express Trail: One Man's Bikepacking Journey to Discover History from a Different Kind of Saddle recounts Scott Alumbaugh's experience bikepacking the Pony Express Trail during the summer of 2021. The narrative follows his day-to-day experiences and impressions--the challenges, the sites he visited, the country he rode through, and the interactions with the people he met--while taking a fresh look at the real Pony Express in the context of mid-1800s historical events along the trail: The Mexican-American, Utah, and Paiute Wars; the California and Pike's Peak gold rushes; the overland emigration of hundreds of thousands to Oregon and California; the exodus of tens of thousands of Mormons to Utah; and the increasingly contentious fight over slavery along with the looming threat of civil war.
