Waddell Park

The Russell, Majors, Waddell Park respects three men who made a business wander in the mid-nineteenth century that, while not going on for a drawn-out stretch of time, assumed an imperative part in propelling correspondence in the creating United States. In the mid-1850s William Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Waddell were accomplices in the matter of transporting cargo, creatures, and supplies the nation over.

The business wanders for which they turned out to be best known as the Pony Express, where young fellows rode a progression of stallions crosswise over fields and mountains from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California in ten days, conveying mail for $1 to $5 a half-ounce. This was a speed considerably quicker than the typical carriage of mail by stagecoach.
