“Pony Express” Keeps Riding Again ~ from St. Joseph station.
Posted by: | Comments.
St. Joseph, Missouri continues to embrace Hermon MacNeil’s “Pony Express as its symbol.
Once Again, St. Joseph, Missouri embraces “The Pony Express” by Hermon A. MacNeil. This time is makes the “cover page” of the city’s current Visitor Guide.
As I was traveling through Missouri recently, I saw this Visitor Guide for “St. Jo Mo.” The little webmaster in my mind said,
“Ah Ha! That needs to be on
SO, I picked up 2 Guide books.”
And now my dear readers, another image of MacNeil’s
Pony Express joins the 300+ postings on this website.
