## Summary

A rangy sorrel, dead tired from the long, hundred-mile trip from the Mormon settlements along the Great Salt Lake, lifted his ears sharply as he stumbled down from the rim of the desert and caught the smell of water. In a little depression among the blistering rocks and sand-dunes nestled a group of buildings; small, yet marking Ross’s Post, the most important place on the Pony Express route between Salt Lake and Placerville.
