Mary
Fields aka Stagecoach Mary, by Erich Martin Hicks, was a cigar
smoking, shotgun and pistol toting Negro Woman of the Wild West, who
could knock out any man with one punch. A piece of historical fiction
that is a must read.
Woodland
Hills, CA, USA -- "A fantastic novel, of a great American
heroine's life." 5 Star Review - Tariano (Tito) Jackson, The
Jackson 5
Erich
Martin Hicks's Mary Fields aka Stagecoach Mary is
unlike any other story you've read about Mary Fields. This
fictionalized story has been dramatically enhanced for your
entertainment pleasures; however, 'most' of the stories--and the
outcomes within this novel--are historically genuine.
Mary
was 6 feet tall, and weighed over 200 pounds, and was the second
woman in 'history' to carry the U. S. Mail, and the only 'Negro', for
hundreds and hundreds of miles when she first arrived in Montana.
This
feature story covers Mary's colorful life, from the plantation where
she was born a slave in 1832, to the famous Steamboat race between
the "Robert E. Lee" and the "Natchez" on the
Mississippi River, to her death in Cascade, Montana, 1914.
Dedicated
to exploring the history of African-Americans/Blacks and shattering
stereotypes, Erich Hick's Alpha Wolf Productions, Inc. has developed
a feature film documentary, Soul on a Wave which exposes the life and
times of surfers of color. Erich's first novel, Rescue at Pine Ridge,
was released in December 2008. The novel is a historical narrative,
depicting the all-Black 9th Calvary. Known as the US military's famed
'Buffalo Soldiers', which helped settle the American West in the late
1800's. Erich has completed an accompanying screenplay for a TV
mini-series, Trilogy, and Epic Feature, and has garnered support from
some of HOLLYWOOD'S acclaimed Industry Producers/Directors/and
Actors.
Amazon
5 Stars - The author did a tremendous job in getting facts about her
life. This no doubt needs to be made into a movie or a mini-series.
This book also should be placed in the educational system so history
can be told how times were during slavery and post slavery.
Amazon
5 Stars - A story of a real, amazing woman who was the first Black
woman to work for the U.S. Postal Service following the Civil War.
The author takes us back to Mary's childhood as a slave, and builds
the story of how she overcame violent reactions to her color and
size, and how so many came to love and respect her. It is a
fascinating read.
