- San Dimas' Female Stage Coach Driver Delia Haskett Rawson was so small her feet wouldn�t touch the floorboards, but she began riding with her father and begging him to let her hold the �ribbons,� which he often did. As she got older, she was given more practice, until the day when the regular driver was suddenly taken ill. She was given the opportunity then, at age 14, to drive the stagecoach, with the U.S.Mail, from Ukiah to Willets, in Northern California.
- Stage Coach Robbery Still Unsolved When shots rang out Major Joseph Washington Wham knew the stagecoach was under attack. The black Buffalo Soldiers riding guard with the U.S. Army payroll took several hits but fought back with great bravery in the sun-drenched desert landscape of May 11, 1889. The loss amounted to $28,345.10 in military payroll.
