612 ECHOS-1997-337 eng Delaplane, Kristin Pony Express riders rode through Solano Apr 20, 1997 In nearly all the written records about the Pony Express of the 1800s, the fact that the riders took the stagecoach trail from Sacramento to Benicia is rarely documented. This route was not on the riders' regular run, but when they missed the steamer connection to San Francisco from Sacramento, which they did 19 times, they took this alternate route, riding through Solano County at their legendary breakneck speeds. vacahc@gmail.com 337 53783467322 Publication/Article CaVaHC http://www.solanoarticles.com/history/index.php/vhcdb/337/ Read Article http://www.solanohistory.net/articles/337/337.1.pdf PDF Document
