Mary Fields AKA Stagecoach Mary

Pre ord er and secure your collectable art card today! Mary Fields is known for being the first Black woman to work as a mail carrier in the USA. She defied the odds not just because of her race and gender but also her age, as she was SIXTY-FIVE when she began that job.

When Mary landed the mail carrier job – by outskilling the much younger male applicants – she really made her mark on history. While at first sounding like a dull job, as we think of our local posties and while we love ’em, it’s not precisely death-defying, is it?

Well, it was back then! Travelling alone across vicious terrain, there was danger of the extreme weather, wild animals such as wolves and the worst monster of all – mankind. Bandits waited in these parts for such a super looting opportunity.

Sometimes, the stagecoach (“Oh, THAT’s why she’s called Stagecoach Mary!”) would be stuck in mud or snow, and she would have to go on foot. The most important thing to her was getting every single letter and parcel delivered on time.
