Stagecoach drivers were a breed all to themselves. Most were gentle and polite but tough as whang-leather. And some of the best story tellers the world has ever known were included in their numbers. Matter of fact, they took pride in tryin’ to outdo one another in tellin’ the biggest lie. They were so sincere in tellin’ these lies that more often than not their passengers swallered them, hook, line and sinker.
