A tall, sturdy girl by the age of 14, Mary was ordered to work in the cotton fields performing heavy labor with boys and men. After the 13th amendment was proclaimed, ending slavery, Mary worked a variety of jobs including as a chambermaid on a steamboat and as a helping hand at a convent in Ohio, and later at a missionary school in the dangerous Montana territory. She then became the second woman and first African American woman to be hired as a U.S. Postal worker, earning her the name of Stagecoach Mary.
