Description
Photograph of a full stagecoach along a dirt road, Yuma, ca.1905. At center, a mud wagon type stagecoach and a four horse hitch can be seen. Side curtains are not present on the side of the stage coach. Five passengers, a driver and a passenger next to the driver are shown. The stagecoach is about to cross a dry river bed. In the background, lines of dried shrubs can be seen. At right, a ladder can be seen leaning against a rustic wooden structure. Identified as the stage on the San Antonio - San Diego mail route from Yuma, Arizona, to the lower heading of the Colorado River intake. In actuality it is the stage used on the Jackass Mail and was probably taken years later. Horses pull the coach here rather than the mules normally used on this line.
