Mary Fields aka Stagecoach Mary. 1832-1914. You’ve heard of Belle Starr, Calamity Jane, and Annie Oakley but not Stagecoach Mary. In 1895 at the age of SIXTY (60) Mary Fields began employment as a  Star Route Carrier which used a stagecoach to deliver mail in the unforgiving weather and rocky terrain of Montana. This made her the first African-American woman to work for the U.S. Postal Service. Mary didn’t play any games, she carried multiple firearms, most notably a .38 Smith & Wesson. It’s funny that whenever she was portrayed in film, certain people would start that “PC” this and “PC” that nonsense. Sorry, she was an actual historical person… and she was BLACK! It's up to US to learn OURstory not HIStory!

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. 

Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

A zoilist is someone who gains pleasure from finding fault.

15% of Americans own no books, and 20% own fewer than 10.

It is only illegal to eat human flesh in one of the 50 US states, Idaho.

Research has shown that people are happiest at 7:26pm on Saturday evening.

92% of people type things into Google to see if they spelled them correctly.

In 2003, a Coca-Cola employee was fired because he was drinking Pepsi on the job.

In 1979, British politician Terry Dicks lost an election to his competitor Michael Cocks.

Lonely people take longer, hotter showers to replace the warmth they lack socially or emotionally.

In 2015, an aquarium in Vancouver gave their one-eyed rockfish a false eye because he was being bullied.

You can fail a drugs test if you eat too much food with poppy seeds in it.  Your urine would show as having morphine in.

At Two Oceans Pass, Wyoming, a mountain stream splits into two: one flows into the Atlantic, the other into the Pacific.

A five-year-old boy who went missing from his home in Alabama for 13 years was found when he tried to apply to college.

According to The Economist, Boston, Massachusetts is the best prepared city in the United States for a zombie invasion.

The ‘your mother’ insult is found in nearly all cultures and is as old as humanity itself, with examples in Shakespeare and the Bible.

In 2004, the USA delivered $12 billion in one hundred dollar bills weighing 363 tonnes to Iraq.  Nobody knows where it has gone.

In some European countries, they have parking spaces solely for women.  They are usually in heavily lit areas, close to petrol stations etc.

In 1956, Vyacheslav Ivanov won an Olympic rowing medal only to drop it in the lake while celebrating his win.  He dived in but never found it.

In 2015, a Manchester man began graffitiing giant penises onto potholes so that the city would fix them faster.  He was nicknamed 'Wanksy'.

French club FC Thionville will play an away fixture in New Caledonia in the South Pacific as part of the French Football Cup, a round trip of 19,883 miles.

In the 16th century, codpieces were so big they were used as pockets where men were said to carry handkerchiefs, purses, ballads, bottles, pistols and oranges.

Andy Warhol would often go into hair salons to get his wig cut.  Then next month, he would come back to the salon in a longer wig and act like his wig had grown.

If you play the tenth song on Weird Al Yankovic’s album ‘Bad Hair Day’ in reverse, you will hear, “Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands.”

In his application for a professorship at Trinity College Dublin, the Irish poet and future Nobel laureate W.B. Yeats misspelt the word ‘professorship’.  He didn’t get the job.

The scent of freshly mowed grass is the lawn actually trying to save itself from injury.  Plants release a number of organic compounds called green leaf volatiles.  When plants are injured, these emissions increase like crazy.

In 1988, a woman named Jean Terese Keating disappeared while awaiting trial for drunkenly killing a woman in a car crash.  She was arrested 15 years later after bragging at a bar about having gotten away with the crime.

In the 19th century, the phrase ‘Newcastle hospitality’ meant either ‘roasting a friend to death’ (subjecting someone to ‘a severe gibing and bantering’) or ‘killing a person with kindness’ (not allowing someone to leave the room until they fell dead-drunk under the table.)

Scottish man Angus Barbieri fasted for 392 days, from June 14, 1965, to July 11, 1966.  He lived on tea, coffee, soda water and vitamins while living at home in Tayport, Scotland, and frequently visited Maryfield Hospital for medical evaluation.  He lost 276 pounds and set a record for the length of a fast.

Nas listed his then 7-year-old daughter, Destiny Jones, as an Executive Producer on his fifth studio album ‘Stillmatic’, so she will always receive royalty checks from the album.  Nas' album, Stillmatic, was released on December 18th, 2001.  It sold over 342,600 copies in its first week of release and peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. 

Sanju Bhagat's stomach was so swollen he looked nine months pregnant, and his breathing was so bad that he was rushed to hospital.  Doctors suspected his enlarged abdomen was a tumor until they opened him up and found that he'd been carrying around his absorbed twin for 36 years.  This condition is known as ‘fetus in fetu’.  One twin absorbs the other but will continue to leech nutrients from the host.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day.  Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday!  I love you all.

WOOLDRIDGE MONUMENT 1930-1944, Linen period (estimate) Kentucky United States

Published by: Wilson's Book and Stationary Store

Image Description:

Front: a print of a cemetery with one notable statue of a man on a horse.

Back: Small text at the top left reads "Since 1899 many tourists have visited Maplewood Cemetery, Maryfield, to view the unique memorial erected by Col. Henry G. Wooldridge. Kentucky horse-man and hunter. Proud of his lineage, he had a figure of himself carved out of marble in Italy (1893) and figures of his relatives, his dog, horse, a deer, and a fox cut from stone. Col. Wooldrige died in 1899 and is buried in the Mausoleum, surrounded by these fantastic monuments."

Day 23 of Assorted September. This patch of land has been a railway yard, a lorry park and a self-storage unit. It now looks set to have houses built there. (at Maryfield Medical Center :)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci1ygLDs106/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As one descendant of a black cowboy explained, "We didn't write the books. We didn't produce the movies. So we were politely deleted." There is a conspicuous absence of the black cowboy recorded in the history of the American cattle-ranching industry. The role these men played in the settling of the Old West deserves scholarly attention. When you get time google these names. #BlackCowboys #AddisonJones #MaryFields #CharlieWillis #IsomDart #TheTexasKid #BassReeves #CherokeeBill #NatLove #BillPickett #BobLemmons #Cowboy #WildWest (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKRfkOgLUN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cfaao1u7yhjt

Reposted from @realhistoryuncovered At six feet, 200 pounds, and with "the temperament of a grizzly bear," Stagecoach Mary Fields was a force to be reckoned with. She always had a cigar or rifle handy and was the only woman permitted to drink in her local saloon. This is the true story of the first black postwoman in U.S. history — click the link in our profile to read more.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #stagecoachmary #maryfields #blackhistory #womenshistory #postoffice #legends #wildwest #montana https://www.instagram.com/p/CPex2Z1gqgTz9uj6pAzvW0sEBug_h2V2jQvEHQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Mary #Fields foi a primeira #funcionária #mulher e #negra do Serviço #Postal norte-americano. . #MaryFields #PrimeiraFuncionária #ServiçoPostal #NorteAmericano #NorthAmerica #USA #EUA #Correios #PoneiExpresso Durante o século XIX, o serviço postal #estadunidense dava concessão de #rotas de entregas a pessoas físicas e #empresas que comprovassem capacidade para executar o #trabalho. Uma das pessoas que conseguiu conquistar uma dessas rotas foi Mary Fields, uma mulher negra, ex-escravizada, com mais de 60 anos de idade. O trabalho, apesar de #pagar bem, era muito #perigoso, na época, era comum o #assalto e até #assassinato a #carteiros. Fields prestou processo seletivo e uma das provas era montar e cavalgar o mais rápido possível em um cavalo, teste com função de avaliar a capacidade de levar telegramas urgentes. Ela desbancou muitos homens e foi contratada, pela empresa detentora da rota, para entregar cartas e encomendas em quatro Condados do Montana, em 1895. Para se proteger dos perigos da rota, já que era carteira, negra e mulher, Mary andava sempre em companhia de seu Rifle Winchester e de seu fiel escudeiro, um cão preto e branco. Fields também abriu um restaurante que servia comida a crianças carentes, além de cobrar o preço que o consumidor gostaria de pagar, antecipando uma tendência que mais tarde faria sucesso no mercado gastronômico dos Estados Unidos. Mary exerceu o serviço postal até 1903, quando, aos 71 anos, foi licenciada por conta da idade já avançada. Em uma das inúmeras passagens da experiência como carteira, Mary estava em um estabelecimento quando o dono do restaurante expulsou um idoso do lugar. Mary Fields encostou o rifle na testa do homem branco e pediu, gentilmente, que ele se desculpasse com o homem negro. Foto: imagem de Domínio Público, composta por uma freira de Montana.

Amazing! Reposted from @facts_and_video At the age of 63, this gunslinging, booze-swilling, fist-fighting freed slave became the first black woman in U.S. history to deliver the mail — and she did it across the Wild West.

#MaryFields #BlackHistory EX-SLAVE MARY FIELDS FELT AT HOME IN MONTANA, WHETHER WORKING IN A CONVENT OR MANAGING A MAIL ROUTE. A Black gun-totin' female in the American wild west. She was six feet tall; heavy; tough; short-tempered; two-fisted; powerful; and packed a pair of six-shooters and an eight or ten-gauge shotgun. A legend in her own time, she was also known as STAGECOACH MARY.
