Sesquicentennial embrace

De Soto got a taste of Western culture Sept. 15 with a re-enactment of a Pony Express mail bag re-enactment and a powwow from the Kansas City based Indian Council of Many Nations.

Max Atwell of De Soto explains the history of the Pony Express and why a young rider like Cooper Belt would be appropriate soon after the young boy helped re-enact an exchange of a Pony Express bag in front of the De Soto Post Office.
