In April 1860, the Pony Express began delivery of mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. The mail was then taken by boat to San Francisco. Relays of young, lightweight, riders covered the 3,164-km (1,966-mi) journey in about 10 days. These riders faced hazardous weather conditions and hostile Native Americans. The Pony Express closed in October 1861, when transcontinental telegraph lines were completed.

The hamburger has no connection to ham. It got its name from the German town of Hamburg, which was famous for its ground steak.

Hamburgers on buns were convenient and tasted good. This became the usual way of eating hamburgers.

The peanut comes from South America, but peanut butter is a food that is truly “American”. Peanut butter started in 1890 in St. Louis, Missouri. A doctor made some peanut butter. He gave it to patients who could not eat regular food. Later, peanut butter was popular as a health food.

The skunk is known mainly for its bad smell. Skunks are black and white and very furry. They are small — no larger than house cats. When a skunk is in danger, it attacks by spraying a liquid from under its tail. This liquid has a terrible smell, which may last for many days. A skunk can spray something from as far away as twelve feet.

Слайд 25

The raccoon is famous for its ringed tail and for the black "mask" around its eyes. Raccoons can use their paws skillfully, and are quite intelligent. They eat many different things— frogs, fish, birds' eggs, fruit, and mice. Raccoons are not timid or afraid of people. They'll often take food from garbage cans. This explains, some people say, the black masks around their eyes—raccoons are garbage-can robbers!
