The Pony Express... a system of riders to help deliver mail across America coast to coast.
As famous as it was it didn't really last long; but it got its start and had it's first completed run to Sacramento on this day in 1860 (took 10 days).
About 300 years before that another person tried to deliver a message, one Guy Fawkes, who was the 'fall guy' for the Gunpowder Plot, was born on this day in 1570.
