Stagecoach, Harlem, Montana, circa 1900
01
Artifact Overview
Discomfort, loneliness, and the ever-present danger of being robbed while jostling through the open West on a stagecoach can be easily imagined in this Detroit Publishing Company photograph of an outpost in northern Montana. But before railroads spanned the continent, many relied on stage lines for mail delivery and long-distance transportation.
