Ride like the Wind: A Tale of the Pony Express

32 pp. | Scholastic/Blue Sky | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-439-26645-9 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Through telling the story of one fictional young pony express rider, this book attempts to give readers a sense of the work of riders in general. The narrative portrays Native Americans as at once friendly and hostile, but the resulting historical portrait is mostly confusing. Dramatic oil paintings echo the story's fast-paced action.
