With a gash in his side and an arrow lodged in his shoulder, Pony Express rider Thomas Jefferson Jackson fights off pain, fatigue, and blood loss in his quest to reach the home station and pass along the mochila. Above all, the mail must get through. His meandering thoughts continually turn to Loriann, the girl he left behind, and he wonders if his imaginative efforts to communicate with her through marked passages on pages torn from his Bible will reach her and convey his feelings for her.
Ride with Tom through dangerous desert plains, mountains, and canyons in The Mail Must Get Through, a heart-wrenching story of courage, commitment, and love.
