New Product Kicks off 150 Year Anniversary of the Pony Express

(PEACHTREE CITY, GA)—Saddle up your mustang, strap down your mochila, load your pistol and get ready for the most exciting ride of 2010, Galloping West with the Pony Express!: “The Mail Must Go Through!” This thrilling new addition to award-winning author Carole Marsh and Gallopade International’s American Milestone Series is the perfect combination of exciting activities and fascinating facts!

“For 18 months in 1860 and 1861, the Pony Express performed one of the most amazing feats of the Old West. A group of daring young riders and fast horses delivered the mail over 1,800 miles from Missouri to California in just 10 days! We couldn’t think of a better way to honor them than to create a product which will entertain and educate children about this piece of history on the 150th anniversary,” says Gallopade President Michele Yother.

Galloping West with the Pony Express!: “The Mail Must Go Through!” is the newest addition to the 22 book American Milestones Series. This series is a favorite among teachers nationwide and provides an in-depth look at historical events in American history. Each book includes ideas for lesson plans, hands-on activities, biographies, fascinating facts and stories. Each book includes quality content to meet state and national social studies standards. Great for kids 7 and up!

Gallopade is the go-to resource for educators and retailers seeking kid-friendly, timely, educational tools. “We carry Gallopade’s great products at the National Museum of Patriotism located in Atlanta, Georgia. Their books are a real cornerstone to learning so much about America,” says Nick Snider, Chairman/Founder of the National Museum of Patriotism.
