Across the country in California, the people of San Francisco enjoyed their own celebration. The first eastbound Pony Express rider boarded a boat with another mochila filled with mail. He handed off the mail to the next rider at Sacramento. The rider then began his journey east and later passed on the mochila to Warren Upson at Sportsman’s Hall, a Pony Express station.

Upson spent most of his first ride trying to make a trail through the deep snow of the Sierra Nevada mountains. But he finished his challenging run on time. Celebrations rang out again in Missouri and California when the mail was delivered. Newspapers praised the achievement and printed stories that arrived by Pony Express.
