The Story Behind This Print
From Dust to Bloom
Stagecoach Mary's Route
Mary Fields (c. 1832–1914) — known as Stagecoach Mary — became the first African American woman to carry U.S. mail when she won a Montana mail route contract in 1895 at age 60. Standing six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, she drove her stagecoach through blizzards for eight years and never missed a single delivery. Our print traces her route with stagecoach silhouettes, mail pouches, Montana snowcapped mountains, and horseshoe prints on midnight indigo.
"Six feet tall, eight years in the snow, never missed a mail run. Wear the route they said a woman couldn't ride."
