Description
Mary Fields, known as "Stagecoach" Mary, was a trailblazing figure in American history. Born into slavery and later emancipated, she overcame numerous challenges to achieve her goals.
After struggling with various jobs throughout her life, Mary found success at the age of sixty when she became the first black woman mail carrier. Her determination and perseverance earned her the respect and admiration of the community, where she was often treated with more privileges than a white woman.
This biography brings to life the remarkable story of Mary Fields, a true American pioneer who defied conventions and achieved greatness despite the obstacles in her path.
