INTRODUCTION Division Three of the Pony Express National Historic Trail consisted of forty-six stations. This division was the second largest division of the Central Overland California & Pike's Peak Express Company or Pony Express. Only Division Five surpassed Division Three in numbers of stations. Division Three went from Horseshoe Creek, Wyoming, across the vast stretches of Wyoming's high desert landscape to Great South Pass and through the Rocky Mountains and then southwest to the Wyoming Basin and to Green River, and then through the Wasatch Range to Salt Lake City, Utah.
INTRODUCTION Division Two of the Pony Express Trail stretched from Fort Kearney, Nebraska to Horseshoe Creek Station, Wyoming. This division, which extends through western Nebraska into eastern Wyoming, included thirty-three stations along the route as it crossed the High Plains toward the Rocky Mountains. Wherever possible, Chapter Five incorporates available information regarding locations, buildings, commemorative markers, and personal accounts of stations mentioned in the text.
Purpose: To accurately and definitively document the historical, geological and social aspects of Utah’s expansive outdoors. This project isn’t about one voyage or even a series of excursions rather the collective experiences of countless explorers that collect here to share their part of the story. Additionally we are here to provide a “one-stop” website for any/all vehicle based overland and expedition type trekking in the state of Utah. However, the goal isn’t to be limited to vehicle based recreation, rather it will be the focus.
Division One, which began at St. Joseph, Missouri and ended at Fort Kearney, Nebraska, included twenty-six Pony Express stations.

It now houses a restaurant and an interpretive center that explains the waterworks' purpose and local watershed history. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 for its architecture and its engineering innovations.
Stormfield was the mansion built in Redding, Connecticut for author Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain, who lived there from 1908 until his death in 1910. He derived the property's name from the short story "Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven". The building was destroyed in a 1923 fire, with a smaller replica built at the same site the following year.
The historic occupants of what is now the town of Tuxedo were the Lenni-Lenape, a branch of the large Algonquian language family of Native Americans, whose different branches lived along the East Coast from Canada through the Upper South. The Lenape named the largest lake in the area Tucseto, meaning either "place of the bear" or "clear flowing water."[citation needed] European-American colonists later adopted that name for the town they developed.
