About this subject

A red and yellow horse-drawn stagecoach crowded with passengers and a driver stands in a western mining town street, hitched to a team of four horses. A mounted rider carrying a rifle leads the team past a red-painted storefront where a crowd of men in hats and suits has gathered, with pine-covered mountains rising behind the buildings.
