Author Talk & Book Signing with Will Grant - The Last Ride of the Pony ExpressGet ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with author Will Grant as he shares the extraordinary story behind his book, The Last Ride of the Pony Express. Join us on Saturday, February 8, at 3 PM at the C.M. Russell Museum for an unforgettable afternoon of history, adventure, and inspiration.
In his remarkable journey, Will retraces the legendary 2,000-mile Pony Express trail, a grueling ten-day horseback route that stretched across the untamed American frontier of the 1860s. Often compared to racing horses between Madrid and Moscow, the Pony Express remains the greatest testament to American horsemanship in history.
But this story isn’t just about the past—it’s about the enduring spirit of the West. Inspired by figures like Mark Twain and Horace Greeley, Will saddled up his horses, Chicken Fry and Badger, and rode the entire trail himself. Along the way, he captured the heart of the landscape, the resilience of the people, and the pioneering spirit that shaped America.
Will’s vivid storytelling will immerse you in this epic journey, forever changing the way you think about the West, the Pony Express, and America itself.
Admission is free, and books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet Will Grant and discover a tale that’s more than history—it’s a celebration of the wild, adventurous spirit that defines the American West.
See you at the C.M. Russell Museum on February 8 at 3 PM for this thrilling event!
