7:00 pmStagecoach, Inn and Routes Research
Sharon Sergeant
Stagecoaches were the veins for the railroad and steamship arteries for
more than a century. Stagecoaches carried the mail, newspapers, people
and freight – connecting the towns and villages as well as the centers
of commerce. Stagecoach drivers and owners, stables and liveries,
blacksmiths, hotel and inn owners were as well known and familiar as the
postmasters and customs collectors. Stagecoach drivers of the East often
served their routes for decades.B$15.00
