With 186 stations about 10 miles apart, the Atlantic to Pacific route could be completed in about 10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt each station, the express rider would change to a fresh horse, taking only the mailbag with him.  They often said that, if it came to be, the horse and rider should perish before the mailbag did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is truly a “\u003cb\u003eONE OF A KIND\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e” messenger bag, quickly converting from a traditional carry to a backpack carry. It is made of Full Grain American leather in our Huntsville, Alabama shop.
