Overview
In 1854, eight-year-old James was rescued from the streets of New York City and sent west on an orphan train, luckily finding a new home with a farm family in the Nebraska Territory. Now fourteen, he's ready to seek adventure—as a rider for the Pony Express.
Carrying mail across miles of rugged land between Missouri and California, James faces fierce storms, bandits, and wild animals. Can he prove he has what it takes to survive the ride of a lifetime?
