Joint Resolution Celebrating The Life Of Stagecoach Mary Fields

It formally honors Stagecoach Mary Fields, an African American woman who became the first African American woman and second woman to hold a U.S. Star Route mail carrier contract in Montana during the late 1800s. The resolution celebrates her legacy as a fearless mail carrier, her work with Ursuline nuns, and her community impact in Cascade, Montana. It has no effect on laws or regulations and serves solely to recognize her historical significance.
