		Nineteenth century stagecoach journeys were arduous; combining the driver's bad temper and impatience, with poor roads, sprinkled with bandits and horse dung, well, the trips were bumping, jarring experiences.
		From the earliest days of stagecoaches in the east, the "overland" stagecoach, whether it was Ben Hollady's "Concord Coaches" of the Overland Trail Stage Route, or the "cradle on wheels," Mark Twain described in Roughing It, the coach was a thrill of a lifetime to ride.
		Some major no-nos on the stagecoach were sassing the driver (just plan on walking) or not following his instructions, dawdling along at the station's pewter wash basin, swearing, falling asleep on your neighbor's shoulder, and leaping from a runaway coach.

	Stagecoach
		A stagecoach is a type of horse-drawn passenger and/or mail coach, widely-used before the introduction of rail and road transport, which stops periodically at so-called staging posts to take on fresh horses, exchange mail, and to give the passengers and crew food and rest stops.
		Today the most familiar image of the stagecoach is in western movies, but they were also used throughout Europe until they were rendered obsolete by faster means of transport.
		In many rural areas in Europe, especially those with very hilly terrain and which are therefore unsuitable for motorized transport, stagecoaches are still being used to transport hay, timber, etc.
