Pony Express - Sketches
Avard Fairbanks pays tribute to both the riders and the station
keepers in his Pony Express monument, drawing contrasts between
youth and old age, the vigor of the fresh horse against the fatigue
of the spent horse. The sculpture portrays the symbolism of how
each older generation must bid Godspeed to a younger generation.
It honored the courage not only of the young Express riders, but
also of the unsung heroes - the station keepers, many of whom lost
their lives in this daring American enterprise.
