Don't mess with "Stagecoach Mary" Fields

- As portrayed by Rosieleetta "Lee" Reed, "Stagecoach Mary” Fields distinguished herself as the first African American woman star route mail carrier in the United States. Garnering a contract from the postal service, "Stagecoach Mary" served as an independent contractor to transport mail from Cascade, Montana, to surrounding areas. Protecting her cargo from thieves and bandits, she was the second woman in the United States to serve in that role.
Born a slave but freed in 1865, “Stagecoach Mary” smoked cigars, drank whiskey, cussed, and carried a rifle and revolver. She met trains with mail, then drove her stagecoach over rocky, rough roads through frigid weather. Thieves were intimidated by her height and daunting demeanor. However, she was beloved by locals for her generosity and kindness towards children.

This is my personal hero ! To me she epitomizes every thing I admire in a STRONG woman. I've gotten tired of people offering rich, celebrity, whatever as strong woman. Mary is a REAL woman.
I believe she should be honored in black history month. She was a very bold woman and brave.
Do you participate in Black History programs? Bring her story forth.
Once there was a woman called Stagecoach Mary,
They say she was big and strong, she could be scary,
she cared for the children and cared for some nuns
,
then she lighted out west to work with her guns
,
they say she was big and she could be mean
,
but she could ride a wagon like you ain't never seen,
she worked very hard so folks got their the mail
,
when she drove her wagons she never did fail.
Ms Reed ,a superperb performance. I was captured by your authenticity and Mary would be proud!!!
She didn’t play!!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Kudos to the actress portrayed and to Mary. They are both inspirational. It is people like Ms. Reed and Ms. Fields that give me the strength to believe in myself.
She is one bad sista... thank you for paving the way for US!!!👏🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🔫🍺
People Called Her STAGECOACH MARY. She Was Bold. She Smoked Cigars. She Drank Whiskey. She Packed Guns. She Loved Adventure. She Was Independent.
Such an amazing soul. Why was she not in the history books in my school along with many others growing up needs to change. Glad she is getting her due and is being celebrated and honored for the awesome person she was. Talk about tough times and hardships in those days and yet she made it happen. Thats a real O.G.
Rosieleetta "Lee" Reed did a phenomenal job as Stagecoach Mary✌❤
@Alaina Butler ✌🏾❤️
Please can someone make a movie about this amazing strong woman??? I love you Mary Fields,you are a hero 🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥃
I will gather what I formation I can and maybe I'll find a scriptwriter
Did you know she was friends with actor Gary Cooper ? Esther Rolls played her in documentary , south by northwest and she was played by actresses in tv movies, Cherokee kid in 1996 and Hannah's law in 2012 . I love the strength of this woman!!
@@katherinegordon8088 If you do... I hope you omit the part of her or any slave saying anything about having or living a good life...there was nothing good about ANYBODY being a SLAVE!!!
NETFIX - THE HARDER THEY FALL- STAGECOACH MARY!
What a history lesson about Stagecoach Mary! I hope her performance will be seen beyond today November 7, 2021 and forever.
Netflix THE HARDER THEY FALL
woulda been a better movie if they depicted her as she was and not a frail mixed lady
I want to find DVD for Mary Fields. Thank you,, I had never heard of her. Strong Black Women,Full of Courage. amen
She was the Truth 🔥🔥🔥
I throughly enjoyed this very much I did not know , I live in great falls and have been to the Columbus center where she passed❤
and she was an excellent shot lol and quickest draw
Rosieleetta "Lee" Reed - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm in tears learning about jacko
Never heard or knew of this queen always thought that only white and some Indians and some black men did this rode up in front of stagecoach never knew black history would ever tell these stories.
Why during black history month they just put New Jack City on repeat? These are the people that everyone should be looking up to.
She said some history that I did not know.
I was just imaging Mary getting a hold of Trump while she shouted Look at him there my caucasian american" . If the Jaco story is true why does he not have a statue? He certainly should have one.
Uh ,he does! The little black lawn jockey
@@RoanPonie that's right but unfortunately that statue is considered racist now. I had one before but unfortunately it got vandalized and spray painted with racist and kkk so I unfortunately had to get rid of it.
Amazing ❤
$50 a year was ms marrys sallery not $9 a month
I admired and love her story about her life....yes she should be honored...but no slave should ever think they lived a good life...this is what "the white history" want people to think and believe that "SLAVERY" was not all that bad and we should "ALWAYS BEG THE DIFFER!"...so that should be omitted "FOREVER" out of any reference when it comes to SLAVERY!!!!
She wasn’t a slave her whole life
Nat Love was another slave who said he had what would be considered a "nice master" and didn't have it as bad as other slaves. Though he also said that he had seen men, women and children who couldn't even walk yet whipped so bad that they bled.
@@whayes8084 does it matter if it was all of her life, half of of her life or one day of her life...
Here I am in 2021 and the movie Harder they fall depicts Mary as a sexual light skinned petite woman.....
Smh
Yeah they dropped the ball on a lot of the characters - they just borrowed the names without the content of their personalities. Rufus buck and his gang were only 20 -22 when they were hung and they were true black indians, all mixed heritage - Bass Reeves was hardcore af and Cherokee bill was a bit of maniac. Nat Loves biography manuscript is available online - I don't understand the need to romanticize people who were so compelling without the frills
Well damn, who wants to see a brawny 6ft man in a dress? You need attractive women! I much rather preferred the beautiful actress they used 💖
im building a website on her.
How’d it go?
Where is your website
👍🏾💗
I need closed caption...do you have that

What’s the name of that rifle
Wow look at all that 'social distancing'
Sure
😊
It was against the LAW for a black person to read and write..???? That’s utterly ridiculous .... what kind of a world is this....????🤔🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
Backwards!
