Artesania Latina 1848 Stagecoach

STAGECOACH 1848 HISTORY THE FAR WEST

Discover the 1848 American Stagecoach! Since 1716 stagecoaches traveled the distance between Boston and Rhode Island. Its design as we know it today would see the light around 1820. The new design has a built-in oval box, a door on each side, an outside seat for the coachman and a suspension reinforced with triple crossbow.

These stagecoaches were one of the only modes of transportation available to the majority of the population who wished to cross the country. It was due to the development of the west when they were most used, long before the railway. Most of the western errands were under contract from the United States Government to transport the mail and news of new laws, as well as passengers traveling on different errands or wishing to eplore new regions.

The bank company Wells Fargo used many of these stagecoaches to carry not only passengers but also money, gold and silver. Its manufacture and utilization was halted around 1910 in most states.
