As pervasive as the stagecoach industry was in America for at least
200 years, doesn't it make sense that at least a few women were
somehow involved? Well, guess what, there were far more than a few.
Women drove stagecoaches, groomed and shod the stage horses,
hoisted mail bags and boxes of gold bullion, negotiated contracts,
bought and managed stage lines, defended (with their six-shooters)
their cargo from bandits, and robbed stages in addition to their
traditional roles as housekeepers, cooks, and laundresses, and oh
yes, mothers to multiple children. And usually women's
contributions to stagecoach history were ignored. Stagecoach Women
offers a non-academic, but expansive survey of stagecoach history
in the United States enriched by the personal stories of women who
contributed to the evolution and success of a captivating facet of
American history.
