"Excitement was plentiful during my two years' service as a Pony Express rider"

The quote by Buffalo Bill speaks to the excitement he experienced throughout his 2 years as a Pony Express rider. The Pony Express was a mail delivery service that operated in the United States from 1860 to 1861. It was a harmful job, as riders needed to pass through the huge areas of the American West, frequently facing extreme weather condition and hostile Native Americans. In spite of the threats, Buffalo Bill found the task to be an amazing one. He likely delighted in the adventure of riding throughout the wild landscape, the difficulty of delivering mail on time, and the camaraderie of the other riders. His two years of service as a Pony Express rider were likely a few of the most memorable of his life.
