I would like to take this opportunity to express my support for H.R. 3787. This bill would authorize study of the California Trail and Pony Express Trail for possible inclusion in the National Trails System as national historic trails. This bill is particularly important to the Sacramento area since both of the trails included in the study extend to Sacramento. The Pony Express Trail runs from St. Louis to Sacramento. The California Trail was one of a number of trails used by settlers and prospectors in their emigration west during the mid1800s. The trail breaks off the Oregon Trail at the Raft River and heads southwest to Sacramento. As a Sacramentan.
