Product Description
Riders of the "Pony Express," which delivers faraway mail by horse, greet workers who are building the last section of the TransContinental Telegraph Line, the first high-speed communications network connecting California with the rest of the United States.
Venture, launched by the Western Union Telegraph on September 20, 1860, will revolutionize communications and greatly expand the cities of the Midwestern United States.
The network began in salt lake city, Utah, and expanded simultaneously east and west.
However, until the Telegraph Company opened on October 24, 1861, Pony Express continued to take over the connections that had been broken during the network construction.
This first telegraph equipment was in operation until the Transcontinental Railroad opened in May 1869 and was replaced by the telegraph network along the railroad.
