#BlackHistoryMonth: #MaryFields (1832–12/5/1914) AKA #StagecoachMary the 1st Black woman to be a postwoman in the US. Born into #slavery. Carried multiple firearms to protect herself & the mail from thieves. Never missed a day. When snow too deep for horses, she delivered mail on snowshoes.
...it’s what’s lived. And these women lived it with power, pride, and an untamed spirit that continues to inspire generations.

#MaryFields aka #StagecoachMary was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses.
She was the first black woman employed as a mail carrier in the US & the second woman to work for the US Postal Service. Stay Locked & Loaded Like Mary #WomensHistoryMonth
Meet Stagecoach Mary, would-be mail thieves didn’t stand a chance against Stagecoach Mary. The hard-drinking, quick-shooting mail carrier sported two guns and men’s clothing.
