Customer Reviews:
great resource.......2001-08-06
I use this as a companion to my Butterflies through Binoculars book. The great thing about this book is the caterpillars that it shows. I'm consantly finding caterpillars in our garden and wonder what they'll turn into. This book helps sort all that out. The pictures are really good as well
The best butterfly field guide I have seen........1998-07-30
I had purchased three other butterfly field guides prior to this one and this is the best in terms of help in identifying species seen in the field. Based on my experience, the butterfly photographs displayed in this book do the best job I have seen of accurately portraying species as they appear in the field. Photographs of like species are lumped together on the color plates and both upperwing and undersides are displayed. Both common and latin names are given in the species descriptions, which I personally find to be very beneficial. I found the overall format of the book to be very well done. I feel that any one living in nearby areas can be benefited by this book but, for someone living in West Virginia, this book is the definitive work on butterflies. True, there are other books that contain more, in-depth reference information, but none that exceeds it as a useful field guide. This is the book I have been waiting years to see!

Many info, not well organized.......2007-08-28
The guide is interesting and compact, with a lot of information, but it is not always easy to retrieve it. It is somehow dispersed in different chapters and sometimes you come across what you look for only by chance.
The map is very useful and good quality (plastified) to be carried along without damaging it too quickly.

Clear and convenient.......2000-08-20
This is the best guide to New York for someone who wants info at their fingertips -- it is clear, well-organized, comprehensive and yet it is truly pocket sized. About 3 in by 7 in, or theirabouts. (which means the type is small, but it is very readable if your vision is good or corrected.) I just wish (HEAR THIS AM EX???) they would publish an updated version! My copy is from 1986 and although the museum and sites info is much the same, the restaurants, hotel and shopping sections are in dire need of new information.

Book Description
Prior to the Civil War, the fastest mail between the West Coast and the East took almost thirty days by stagecoach along a southern route through Texas. Some Californians feared their state would not remain in the Union, separated so far from the free states.
Then businessman William Russell invested in a way to deliver mail between San Francisco and the farthest western railroad, in Saint Joseph, Missouri—across two thousand miles of mountains, deserts, and plains—guaranteed in ten days or less. Russell hired eighty of the best and bravest riders, bought four hundred of the fastest and hardiest horses, and built relay stations along a central route--through modern-day Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada, to California.
Informed by his intimate knowledge of horses and Western geography, Ralph Moody's exciting account of the eighteen critical months that the Pony Express operated between April 1860 and October 1861 pays tribute to the true grit and determination of the riders and horses of the Pony Express.
Customer Reviews:
Great Read.......2007-08-24
This book and Author have been our summer reading list for my three boys, myself and my parents. My eldest at 8 read it himself I read it to the younger two and all were kept interested. After reading Moody's book on the Pony Express we were able to stop at a couple of relay stations and they already new so much.
Outstanding Book.......2007-06-28
An accurate and outstanding book which contains a perfectly woven story, about the Pony Express. Probably the best ever written on the subject. Ralph Moody is one of top american authors in our nation's history.
A well told boy's story with the read - a - loud feel so rarely seen.......2007-02-26
This book is ideal for the mid-primary ages, filled with visionary men and larger that life characters that fulfuilled their vision.
Authentic feeling due to Moody's extensive knowledge of horses and the west and illustrated with line drawings and maps that enhance understanding.
A true product of it era no effort was made to soften or "PC up" the relationships and attitudes of white and indian and although the feel and language used is probably understated it may concern some people to see terms such as "Injuns" perjoratively used.
There are also honest although no graphic treatments of deaths both indian and white as well as the death of some Pony Express horses in the line of duty which should be easily handled except by a very sensitive child, but if yours is please bear this in mind.
An excellent book - good source for a book report. Would make an interesting read for a family traversing the Pony Express route on vacation darwing the younger children into the expereince. Over all an excellent book but slightly dated.
Death Defying Action Riding for the Pony Express.......2000-03-08
180 pages of illustrated true grit, with maps. 12 short chapters chronicle the first day's crossing of mail by the Pony Express. 4 more chapters record the danger and greatest rides of actual Pony Express riders. Ralph Moody shows only a slight bias toward his beloved wild mustangs.
