Why stagecoaches are so important to ND
It was the "first car" in North Dakota. People needed stage coaches for traveling ( even tho it was slow) then needed it to take people to grocery store and everywhere life. People usually had others drive it so they could stay inside the "vehicle" so they don't get snowed/rained on. or if thy are poor then they didn't have a choice to drive i them selves...
