This 1893 Light Concord Stagecoach didn’t come equipped with air-conditioning so it would have been a hot ride when the temperatures hover around 100. Developed by J. Stephen Abbot and Lewis Downing in 1827, the Concord stagecoach was built for use in rugged terrain and on long-distance hauls.
Leather thoroughbraces act like shock absorbers which suspend passengers who are in constant motion while the stagecoach is moving and allow the stagecoach to travel over very rough roads.
