By far, outlaws and robbers being like, "oh thats just mary," is the coolest western story ive heard.
Love the human spirit. What a woman!!! Awesome.
YEAH for Mary Field ( Stage Coach Mary).
This was super fascinating. She sounds like such a cool lady. Such an amazing life too.
I'm glad that she was appreciated in her lifetime. What an awesome lady! I imagine she was a very good friend and someone that you would want to have on your side.

Thank You so much Chris..for this Wonderful History lesson that I never knew about. Stage Coach Mary sounded like a big hearted Lady. She’s the type of Lady that I would’ve loved having a conversation with. Bless you Ms.Mary! RIP.🙏🙏🙏👍👍
What an amazing woman! I would have loved to have spent time with her at a ball game! The world needs more Mary Fields.

I am new to your Podcast I like it allot.
I was wondering where you’ve been. Awesome topic.
Wow! Amazing
The next time someone complains about working, think about what this person must have put up with. She endured hell and worked well past the age of retirement. She was probably older than she was listed at.
These days, most people over fifty want to retire or just do work from a desk. Most men wouldn't even think of driving a car on the route Mary took to deliver mail, let alone drive a horse-drawn stagecoach -- and she was an old woman. She had to sleep in it, eat in it and just imagine not having a bathroom to use.
She couldn't bathe and had to put up with rain, snow, freezing cold and sweltering heat -- and take care of six horses. Very few, in today's society, would risk doing a fraction of what she did in normal conditions. The amazing thing is that she survived each trip and completed the job -- and didn't complain. That's the epitome of tough! l am making her my role model.
It would be really cool if you guys could create a series all about pirates & call it, "Legends of the High Seas."
Lol.. that would be the banking and court system then!!.. 😉😉😉
@@jacquelinemca6614 Yea and don't forget the lawers, congress and politicians.
Plenty of Stagecoach Mary's in the south.
I'd love some civil war era uploads if you have the opportunity. Thank you for your work!
I subscribed 😆

I wonder if the town of Cascade MT’ eventually put up a stone grave marker ?🇺🇸
Wow I never knew this, It goes to show me that I was right as a black person,White people would more than likely help a black person if they work hard and help them dam selves. My Daddy made it,He only had a 6th grade education and couldn't even read or write that good but his sign was a Virgo, He could out count a calulator. 😅 He was a farmer and could grow anything,Made moon shine and Raced old Ford cars. Him and Mary would of got along fine 😊. Great, Great, inspiring story that I just hope show people that race don't matter. It's the love for people that does...❤❤❤❤❤
😢
that guy should have known better to talk back to a Lady who had fought off a pack wolves
RIP
Why hasnt this been turned into a movie....?? Where is Kevin Costner on this??
👍👍
What happened to the Podcast about Belle, earlier today? Sure would like to hear the full Podcast.
Everything is behind a pay wall now.
@@Dr.Cassandra 😔
@@Dr.Cassandra i was about to sit down and listen to the series about Tombstone and it was a no go .
Poor moment choosing i say, when the prices for everything is 🚀
@@AIRRAID2 I loved a lot of their videos and watched over and over for quite sometime. I was thinking about donating like 100 a month due to the enjoyment I was having. I sadly don’t have the same feelings now. Best of luck to you!😊
@@Dr.Cassandra i tried the famous Tombstone shoot out episode just now and to my surprise it worked . 😊 Yeah I would if I could but as it is right now i just can't .
Best of wishes. 🤠
Damn, Mary was more man than most men today.
I've been commenting on this channel for a while now but lastnight I just unloaded my clip "at" my girlfriend not one bullet hit her because I wasn't trying to hit her I just wanted to let her know I'm done taking her shit and I shot her phone to pieces so her friend called the cops and after I talked to the police they looked at her and said it's a civil matter. I think it's because men have had enough of the way these women are.
You need help, those cops should be fired
I love the Victorian era and Edwardian era and the old west! I wish I could travel back in time to that time period and stay there! I was born in the wrong time period 🥺
