When frontier-savvy Sal makes her first stagecoach journey alone to deliver the mail for her sick pa, her ma is nervous, but the wild frontier is no match for Sal, and neither is Poetic Pete, the wiliest stagecoach robber in the West.When Sal drives a stagecoach alone for the first time to pick up and deliver mail, her mother is afraid she will meet local outlaw Poetic Pete, but Sal not only excels at roping, riding, and shooting, she is also an excellent singer. |
