Bookroo's summary
Mary Fields, once a slave, defies the odds to become the first African American woman stagecoach driver in 1895. In her 60s, she outpaces cowboys to secure the job, navigating the perilous badlands with her pet eagle. As she protects the mail from outlaws and wild animals, Mary never loses a horse or package. Her courage and determination pave the way for other women and people of color in the American West. What challenges will she face next on her legendary journey?
