Stage Coach
Think you got it ruff doin stuff ?
Regular Stage Coach Services, mail and passengers, went by stage coach.
Starting in 1858, the 2000 mile trip between Missouri and California took about a month.
Bouncing and rocking day and night across the trails.
Nine passengers rode inside on 3 leather covered benches and another 12 outside on top.
Stops were every 40 or 50 miles providing rest, meals, and a change of horses and driver. Moving west was not easy. Better by stage coach than walking or by wagon and much faster.
A 25 pound load limit for each person, meant that you also had to travel light.
