Bronco Charlie and the Pony Express (On My Own History)

By Marlene Targ Brill

Book Overview

Bronco Charlie longs for a life of adventure. By the time he turned eleven, he'd been a sailor, a cowboy, and could tame wild bucking broncos. But Charlie was always itching for new challenges, and when a Pony Express horse shows up riderless, Charlie gets his big chance. The next station is fifty miles away, and Charlie will have to ride through rocky mountains in the blinding rain to safely deliver the mail. With the threat of hostile Indians, wild animals, and the dangers of riding at night, will Charlie find the courage to face his fears and prove that you're never too young to be brave?

Great Children's Book

This is a great childrens book. It has adventure,excitement and a tale of a young man who performs a job most grown men could not. It too tells a story about a historical event in American history, the pony express. A must read for any young person in your family! I enjoyed reading it too!
