His plan was to ride the 2,000-mile Pony Express trail starting in St. Joseph, MO and ending in Sacramento, CA. Unlike the original riders who covered the distance in ten days, Grant planned to ride it in a little under five months. He packed his bags, saddled his two horses, Chicken Fry and Badger, and set out on the trail. What ensued was an encounter with the inhabitants of the West\u2014ranchers, farmers, historians, businesspeople\u2014 and the thrilling and, at times, treacherous landscapes. Will writes about this journey of a lifetime in his new book \u201cThe Last Ride of the Pony Express: My 2,000-Mile Journey into the Old West.\u201d He joins Russell and Alan to talk about his experiences.
