Would you please verify that her good friend was indeed Sarah Theresa and not Judge Dunn’s daughter, Dolly?
What a woman!
I wow that was great thank you.
Just watched her on The Harder They Fall...
the fotograf of here was that an 1876 winhester if so it s a cool gun and a cool lady tums upp
wow what an amazing and strong woman she was....very impressive.
What a powerful legacy she leaves behind. She accomplished more than most people will ever think of, let alone accomplish. What's puzzling is why she's referred to as a Weird Woman.
What a powerful, strong-willed woman. In an interview Pam Grier stated that she wanted to tell her story, but producers refused to do a movie about her because no one knew who she was. This is how our history is continually suppressed! Thanks WWW, but she is far from weird.....
She did more then me
You guys left out the story about how her Stagecoach got attacked by wolves and she fought them off all night and delivered the mail the next day
Great video
White people love telling our black history! This video is boring and lifeless! NOTHING like who Mary real is! She deserves a better storyteller!
Great story however remove the word "weird" their was nothing weird about her.
Stagecoach Mary was an ah-mazing woman!
She was an absolutely amazing woman 💙💜
We need a movie based on her!
Wow so many as far as African American women you don't learn in the history books.
Abolishment? ABOLISHMENT'?????? You surely mean 'Abolition' Good video though about an incredible woman, thank you!
This is brilliant truth that was notoriously absent from any of my history lessons learned. I'm beyond impressed by her amazing story.
Wow.
