Summary "Jack of the Pony Express; Or, The Young Rider of the Mountain Trails" by Frank V. Webster is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young pony express rider named Jack Bailey, who embarks on thrilling adventures as he delivers mail across the rugged Rocky Mountain trails while navigating both natural and human obstacles. The opening portion of the book introduces Jack as a capable and determined young man who has taken on the family responsibility of delivering mail after his father falls ill. We see Jack's close relationship with his pony Sunger and his worries about his father, along with the anxieties of managing the express service. As Jack waits for his father to return home, he prepares to take over the mail route amidst mounting tension surrounding delays and his father's health. These early chapters set the stage for the excitement to come, including Jack's confrontation with bandits, unforeseen dangers on his deliveries, and his resourcefulness in overcoming challenges. This blend of adventure and personal growth will appeal to readers who enjoy tales of courage and resilience against adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
