Mary Fields:

[HL]

An early poineer in A PART OF the business that I am involved.

Mary Fields, also known as Stagecoach Mary, was the first African-American woman employed as a mail carrier in the United States, and just the second American woman to work for the United States Postal Service.

What was she? a guard? I wouldn't mess with a woman looking like that ...

Yep, Stagecoach Mary used a Winchester Model 1876 to protect her cargo.
