Extractions: Main Marysville Hollenberg Station Rock Creek Station Gothenburg Station ... Julesburg I 'll confess, one of the reasons I like to explore the Pony Express Trail is that it gives me yet another excuse to visit Nebraska, one of my favorite vacation states. But above and beyond that, there's something inherently romantic about this trail and what it represents. This is the stuff of which the corny cowboy shows of my boyhood were made, but the real story is anything by corny. About the Historic Pony Express Trail B y 1860 or so, a freight and stage route was in place which followed quite a bit of the Oregon and California Trails across the American continent. However, this hadn't become a profitable affair yet, and so the owner, one William Russell, proposed establishing an additional mail service with the intent of generating new revenue. Instead of cumbersome wagons, speedy ponies would be pressed into service to carry letters and lighter parcels across the country. It was hoped that this would bolster profits and draw attention to the ailing freight company.

Extractions: Born: November 6, 1839, at Woolwich, Kent County, England. Died: September 30, 1919, at Rigby, Idaho. Billy Fisher was one of the first riders hired by Howard Egan in 1860 where he rode the Pony Express in eastern Nevada and later in the Utah Territory. In July 1860, Indians went on the warpath and destroyed the stations between Ruby Valley and Salt Lake City. Fisher rode the entire 300 miles, warning the stations along the way of the impending danger, covering the distance in 30 hours using 8 horses. When the Pony Express stopped running, he worked for the Holladay Overland Mail Company handling horses, putting up hay, and hauling it to various stations. In the latter 1860's he worked as foreman of a construction crew on the Central Pacific Railroad. In 1870 he moved to Bountiful, Utah. Eight years later he moved to Oxford, Idaho, where he was ordained Bishop in 1879. Here he developed one of the finest ranches in the country, raised hay and grain, and bred of of the best race horses of the day. In 1878-79 he was Secretary of the Idaho Territorial Convention. During the same period he was admitted to the bar of Idaho and that of Utah in 1883. Being a man of multiple capacities and talents, and ready to undertake anything, he bought a complete outfit of deist's extraction instruments in 1890. During the next fifteen years he pulled out about a thousand teeth.
