The Pony Express has a hold on the American imagination wildly out of proportion to its actual contribution to the history and development of the West. It lasted less than eighteen monthsΓÇöabout the amount of time it took author Scott Alumbaugh to plan and ride the routeΓÇöand utterly failed by every measure of success attributed to it. The only reason it did not fade out of public consciousness, as did the far more successful Butterfield mail, is publicity. In the PonyΓÇÖs case, a thirty-year campaign of publicity mounted by Buffalo Bill Cody, who mislead the public by claiming to have been a Pony Express rider, and lied outright by claiming to have made the longest Pony Express run. More than anyone, Buffalo Bill kept the legend alive by including a Pony Express segment throughout the run of his Wild West show.But while the Pony Express may be among the least significant developments of its era, it is the most iconic. One canΓÇÖt really understand the Pony ExpressΓÇöwhat it stood for, what it accomplished, why it came about at allΓÇöwithout understanding the far more interesting historical milieu from which it grew: Three wars (Mexican, Utah, and Paiute); two gold rushes (California and PikeΓÇÖs Peak); the overland emigration of hundreds of thousands to Oregon and California; the exodus of tens of thousands of Mormons to Utah.On the Pony Express Trail: One Man''s Bikepacking Journey to Discover History from a Different Kind of Saddle recounts the authorΓÇÖs experience bikepacking the Pony Express Trail over five weeks during June and July 2021, and uses the trail as a prism through which to survey a wide spectrum of mid-1800s historical events. Sixty-two-year-old Alumbaugh rode the Pony Express Bikepacking Route from St. Joseph, MO to Salt Lake City, UT, over 1,400 miles, mostly off-road, sometimes through very remote territory. The narrative follows his day-to-day experiences and impressions: the challenges, the sites he visited, the country he rode through, and interactions with the people he met.

Food forests are the next step in sustainable home and community gardening. A food forest, or a forest garden, contains edible plants that mimic ecosystems and patterns found in nature. In order to enhance food security and practice permaculture in our own backyards and communities, it is key to understand which plants are best for local food forests and what they will grow alongside with harmoniously.Permaculture, or the philosophy of working with nature rather than against it, can teach us affordable, sustainable, and research-based ways to not only beautify our surroundings, but also lower the risk of food insecurity and help prepare us for population increases and continuous climate change. All one needs to successfully begin their food forest experience is one thing: a lawn.Florida is the perfect state for growing produce, herbs, and other edibles year-round. Most plants in a food forest do not need to be replanted every year, and food forests can take care of their own fertilization and pest control. Knowing which plants grow in which parts of the state (north, central, and south) is crucial, too, in order to successfully create a successful ecosystem. Florida Food Gardens offers readers not only key knowledge on the benefits of food forests and the basics of creating them, but the best plants to grow in any Floridian¿s backyard, community garden, or other environment. With 200 easy to follow, one page reference sheets for each plant (that includes recipes, cultural information, and much more), readers will be able to actively use the text as they prepare for planting their food forests.
