Alvin Anderson Cabin

By 1893 the Pony Express had been gone thirty years, and its station here at Simpson Springs was a heap of loose stone. Alvin Anderson gathered that stone and built a cabin from it — a home for his wife, raised from the ruins of the fastest mail the West had ever known. She never lived in it. She died in childbirth before the house was ready, and Anderson was left with a set of walls made from one abandoned thing standing over another. The cabin's ruins remain beside the restored station, stone returned to stone.
