- Concord Coach Hitched to Four Horses in Front of Post Office, circa 1885 - This hack passenger wagon, with its smaller, square body and open sides, was a less expensive type of public coach.

Quite appropriately, this driver has posed his vehicle in front of a post office -- stage lines also transported the U.S. mail along their routes.
