Along The Way

by Ishani

Find the names of the actual Pony Express way stations of Kansas and Nebraska, as recorded in the official history of the Pony Express for the US Government , Historic Resource Study: Pony Express National Historic Trail. This nearly three-hundred page volume was commissioned by the US Department of the Interior and The US National Park Service with Anthony Godfrey, Ph.D. as its editor. It was put together as a resource for State and Local governments, in conjunction with private citizens and organizations, working to preserve and present this historic piece of America. It contains within it's pages a map of the official route (with later changes), known history of each station, and photos of key players, advertisements and documents. It is definitely worth checking out if you get a chance.

Please note: Any words contained within parentheses (***), as well as Kansas and Nebraska are not found in the puzzle but are listed as part of the station's full name and as a point of reference.
