Stagecoach Mary
I started listening to podcasts on Spotify - Legends of the Old West. Today I listened about Stagecoach Mary.
Not only was her story flat amazing, it was the age at which she accomplished most of it. She was a slave until she was over 50 and that's when her story starts!
She was in her late 60's when she started running a stagecoach delivering mail in the back country of Montana, which she did for 8 years.
I'm shocked that a feature movie was never made about her life. Lots to appreciate about getting older and freedom that she loved. She smoked cigars, drank whiskey, and was known to knock out men in a single punch. She was honorable, dedicated and loyal and loved being an American.
One thing she was fond of - she didn't know her true birthdate so she would about twice a year walk into a bar on a day of her choosing and announce that today was her birthday! It was never the same days, it was whenever she felt like it.
