TELEGRAPH POLE (St Joseph MO)

TELEGRAPH POLE (St Joseph MO)

Patee (PAY-tee) House was the business headquarters of the Pony Express and now has a museum. Info: http://www.ponyexpressjessejames.com

This pole, insulator and attachments are from the Transcontinental Telegraph line that replaced the Pony Express in 1861.

Poles were cut from whatever was available--sometimes short and crooked trees. The wire was galvanized iron. (A few weathered stumps remain in eastern NV.)
