Wells Fargo Stagecoach

Travel by stagecoach was no sissy way to go west.   Check out the rules posted in every Wells Fargo stagecoach:

• Abstinence from liquor is requested, but if you must drink share the bottle. To do otherwise makes you appear selfish and unneighborly.

• Gentlemen must refrain from the use of rough language in the presence of ladies and children.
• Buffalo robes are provided for your comfort in cold weather. Hogging robes will not be tolerated and the offender will be made to ride with the driver.

• Firearms…
