Stagecoaches were familiar vehicals along the main roads of the East and South before the comings of railroads in the 1830's and 1840's. Even as the nation's network of iron and steel rails grew larger and more comprehensive, stagecoach connections to small and isolated communities continued to supplement passenger trains well into the second decade of the twentieth century.
