Manage episode 490451449 series 3668919
In this episode of The Forbidden Frequency, we ride into the untamed heart of the American Old West to uncover the legend of Mary Fields, better known as Stagecoach Mary—the first Black woman to carry mail for the U.S. Postal Service. Born into slavery and transformed by freedom, Mary defied every expectation: standing six feet tall, smoking cigars, packing heat, and never missing a delivery.
From Montana saloons to snowy mountain trails, Stagecoach Mary’s story is one of grit, loyalty, and unshakable courage. Discover how a former slave became a local hero, earning the respect of an entire frontier town—and how history nearly buried her name. This is the untold tale of a true American icon.
