Answer:
The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

Which two lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet?
FRIAR LAURENCE: So smile the heavens upon this holy act,
That after hours with sorrow chide us not!
ROMEO: Amen. amen! but come what sorrow can,
It cannot countervail the exchange of joy
That one short minute gives me in her sight:
Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
Then love-devouring death do what he dare:
It is enough I may but call her mine.
FRIAR LAURENCE: These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his
own deliciousness
And in the in taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy
as too slow.
