Photos from Stagecoach (1939), directed by John Ford. The movie that made John Wayne a star.
According
to an 1877 Omaha Herald article, there was a stagecoach code of etiquette
and a few warnings. Here are a few:
“In
very cold weather, abstain entirely from liquor while on the road; a man will
freeze twice as quick while under its influence.”
"When the driver asks you to get out and walk, do it without grumbling.”
“If a team runs away, sit still and take your chances; if you jump, nine times out of ten, you will be hurt."
Doubling for John Wayne, Yakima Canutt is shown in one of his most famous stunts.
“Never attempt to fire a gun or pistol
while on the road; it may frighten the team and the careless handling and
cocking of the weapon makes nervous people nervous."
"Don't discuss politics or religion nor point out places on the road where horrible murders have been committed if delicate women are among the passengers."
