    I love some of the old stage coach rules/advice for what to bring, what not to bring, and how to get along with other passengers. Kinda like the TSA guidelines of the day. A few that stick in my head are "no smoking of pipes or cigars inside the coach, to avoid offending other passengers noses" and "bring a bottle of spirits and pass it around"

    This is weird. I am over 60 years old and never really thought about a stagecoach, that I can remember ever. Took a nap this afternoon and had a dream I died in a Stagecoach accident. The stage was going pretty fast when something spooked the horses and they exploded the stage flipped over and it was breaking apart and being dragged by the horses. It seemed like it really took a long time before the coach was reduced to splinters but it only took a few seconds. It was so real and scary as soon as I woke up I went on yt looking for anything I could find on stagecoaches!! Weird. But why on earth would you make a stagecoach out of steel?? I bet that thing is heavy!

    • @ArizonaGhostriders
      @ArizonaGhostriders  3 роки тому +5

      I believe he made it out of steel so that it wouldn't take much maintenance. It had to carry toursists on a daily basis.

    In the 1990's, Wells Fargo still had a man in Texas making brand new
    stage coaches that were displayed in their banks.
    After the coming of the railroad, small stage coach lines, sometimes
    consisting of hardly more than a wagon with 3 or 4 bench seats took
    people from the rail depot to towns in the hinterland.

    0:35 Looking at the schedule from 1858, it is very interesting to note the times. From San Bernardino Ca to Fort Tejon (the Grapevine), was a distance of ~150 miles. At 4 1/2 mph, it took 32 hours to get there. Walking speed is 3-4 mph. A point could be made that, even today, I-210 from Berdu to I-5, and then up to Tejon, can seem just as long.

    I worked on a Ranch just outside Lusk, Wyoming in the 90's. The Museum in Lusk has one of the original stages used on the Cheyenne to Deadwood Stageline. Worth a stop if you get near Lusk. The town was one of the stops on the route. Another stop was Mule Creek Junction, just north of Lusk. It was a "dugout" stage stop and local history says Mule Creek Jct is where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane heard about Custer's defeat.
