Mary Fields was the first African-American postal delivery woman. She emerged from slavery to become one of the Wild West's most impressive pioneers. 'Stagecoach' Mary carried a pistol and a rifle and knew how to use them. She was extremely tough and went on foot through extreme if her stagecoach broke down in the Montana wilderness. Now she's fondly remembered for her dedication to duty and her actions that inspired many women that came after her. | History Collection
