This article chronicles the life of Mormon pioneer Thomas Owen King, Jr., specifically his association with the Pony Express. King was born in England and travelled to Utah with his family when he was about 11 years old. He served in the Young's Express Company, and joined the Pony Express when he was 20 years old. He is one of the few riders to have written a personal account of his experiences.
