In his memoir of his days as a miner and California newspaperman, Mark Twain tells of figuring out that the best place to ride was atop the coach, resting on the piles of mail and smoking a pipe.
Still my favorite John Wayne movie is STAGECOACH, filmed during the classic Hollywood year of 1939. In later studies of film making, I felt for the actors jammed into that coach for the needed hours of production.

At least some of these
coach bodies were suspended
on long leather straps to
offer some shock absortion
Still a damn rocky ride
