They seem such mean things when horses and mules really do want to work. The Jehu tidbit was terrific.

The drivers played a large role in the expansion of the west. <br /><br />So does your next book have a stage coach segment in it??Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-8231566413220062072011-11-06T23:05:40.371-06:002011-11-06T23:05:40.371-06:00Thanks to everyone who stopped by today and to tho...Thanks to everyone who stopped by today and to those who left comments. I started researching stage coaches, routes, fees, etc. for my newest WIP. My characters don't spend much time on the stage, but I did get a bit lost in the research.Kathy Ottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996558118761118634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-47292709334656857052011-11-06T19:37:56.871-06:002011-11-06T19:37:56.871-06:00That's a lot of information--research really p...That's a lot of information--research really pays off, hmm?

I never thought about the intricacies involved in driving a stage coach either. I know one thing--sure looks difficult to stay seated up there. <br />What an interesting blog.

I have read how to hold a whip or reins, but nothing else to speak of. So the title Jehu from the Bible is very appropriate! I can imagine it's very hard work to drive a stagecoach. They not only had to be strong, they had to be brave.<br />Thanks...we'll mind the store while you work...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-4230742625185792422011-11-06T08:29:19.937-06:002011-11-06T08:29:19.937-06:00Kathy, very interesting post.
