Summary

Best-selling author brings Mary Fields to life....

Based on true accounts born into slavery, allowed to grow up with her owners' daughter, Molly was taught to read and write. After emancipation, Mary found it difficult to remain close to her childhood friend and struggled with many jobs throughout her life. At 60 years old, Mary became the first Black woman mail carrier and became known as "Stagecoach" Mary. Even though she frequented saloons, smoked cigars, and fought like a man, she was loved by the town of Cascade and given more privileges than a White woman.

Stagecoach

I enjoyed listening to Melody Celeste.

This is a fast read/listen, It is done in play form. But this did take away from the story, of Mary Fields.


Mary Fields was a strong black woman who accomplished and learnt to fight for what she knew what was her rights. A certain word is used, it was used in the time of the stories setting. A short story but full of power.
