What are some good sources when writing a history report on the Pony Express?

We Answered:

- The idea behind the Pony Express—a horseback relay mail service—goes back at least as far as thirteenth-century China, where Marco Polo saw “post stations twenty-five miles apart.” Oregon missionary Marcus Whitman proposed in 1843 using a relay of “fresh horses” to deliver mail from the Missouri to the Columbia in forty days. In 1845 it took President James K. Polk six months to get a message to California, which dramatically pointed up the need to improve communications in the expanding nation. After the Gold Rush brought hundreds of thousands of Americans to the far west, getting the mail between the nation’s coasts became an increasingly important problem.
Nothing meant more to people who went west in the 1840s and 1850s than mail from home. The government had wrestled with the challenge of developing a transcontinental mail service since the War with Mexico. Congress established postal service to the Pacific Coast in 1847, and in 1851 set the rate for a half-ounce letter at three cents if it went less than 3,000 miles and six cents if it went more. Private contractors handled the business, which depended on huge subsidies. The government struggled to provide an effective mail link to the west coast for the next decade. In 1855 Congress even appropriated $30,000 to investigate using camels to carry the mail from Texas to California. The camels proved impractical, but John Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company provided mail service contracts on routes that took three to four weeks to get to California via stagecoach. Butterfield’s main “ox bow” route left Fort Smith, Arkansas, and reached San Francisco via El Paso, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona Territory, crossing 2,800 miles of some of the toughest terrain in North America. Despite its length and the scarcity of water, no snowbound mountain blocked this route, and powerful Southern political interests kept most government subsidies on southwestern trails.

Writing a good report?

We Answered:

- Begin with a strong introduction. State what your paper is about. Include an overview of what happened in the particular event.

- Make sure you start each paragraph with a strong opening sentence and make sure that there isn't more than one topic to a paragraph.

- Try to say the events in chronological order.

- Include footnotes for quotes etc. and a bibliography at the end.

- Finish the report with a paragraph or two that summarizes the events and shows your opinion on the matter.

Hope that this helps.
