The Missouri stagecoach consisted of four old vehicles, large, heavy, discolored, but heavily armored, Two carriages made the outward journey, while the other two made the return journey, which lasted a week. The name of the line was due to the fact that the cars ran parallel to the Missouri River during half of their trip and the other half traveled through the valley, leaving the river to the left as they advanced towards the divide. The stagecoach is a story belonging to the Far West collection, a collection of novels developed in the American Wild West.
