Riding shotgun wasn’t just a seat on a stagecoach — it was the most dangerous job in the Old West.
This week on Way Out West, climb up onto the box seat to hear the story of the fearless shotgun messengers who guarded gold shipments, stared down outlaw gangs, and rode through ambush country with a double-barreled shotgun across their knees.
You’ll hear how these men were chosen, the weapons they carried, the tactics they used, and what really went down when a robbery struck without warning. From legendary messengers like Bob Paul to the road agents who tried—and failed—to take the strongbox, this episode pulls you straight back into the danger, dust, and grit of the frontier trails.
Saddle up. This one packs a punch.
