Long before we were able to instantly zap messages across the world in seconds using a computer that fits in your pocket, The Postman carried our correspondence across the West by horse. The Pony Express could get a letter from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California in as little as ten days. One of the landmarks they passed by was Devil's Gate (near Casper, Wyoming), which I have set as a background to The Postman's ride. The innovation that made The Postman obsolete was the telegraph, symbolized by the wired pole on the right of the painting.
