The Impact of Stagecoaches on Westward Expansion and Conflict with Indigenous Peoples

Stagecoaches revolutionized travel in the 19th century, offering a more comfortable option than pioneer wagons. They played a vital role in carrying mail along routes from Missouri to California, with companies like Wells Fargo becoming major suppliers. However, this expansion led to significant conflict, notably during the Goshute War, where Goshute and Shoshone Indians attacked stagecoach stations. The U.S. Army retaliated, resulting in the deaths of an Indian camp's members, including families, highlighting the tragic consequences of westward expansion.
