A former slave, Fields became the first African American woman stagecoach driver in 1895, when, in her 60s, she beat out all the cowboys applying for the job by being the fastest to hitch a team of six horses. She won the dangerous and challenging job, and for many years traveled the badlands with her pet eagle, protecting the mail from outlaws and wild animals, never losing a single horse or package. Fields helped pave the way for other women and people of color to become stagecoach drivers and postal workers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>From the moment Mary rides into town, readers will be hooked...A wild ride through an impressive bit of history.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>This picture-book biography reimagines Mary's successful tryout against younger white cowboys to become the first African American female stagecoach driver in the country.--<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Tami Charles</b> is a former teacher who now writes picture books, middle grade and young adult novels, and nonfiction for kids.
