Popular History of the Pony Express
For “Westward Movement in America,” Dr. Sidwell assigned us a popular history paper. We were to write the paper as if it were intended for a popular magazine rather than a scholarly work. (It was a fun assignment, which I mentioned earlier.) I chose to write about the Pony Express. I don’t think I wrote very well for a popular audience (which is to say, I didn’t write very well at all), and I think I should have chosen a more important topic (perhaps some musings on topic selection later). But though I’m not thrilled with my paper, I shall allow you, gentle reader, to be its judge.
