What was the average speed of a 6 horse stagecoach?
Stagecoach speeds varied over any route to very slow on hills (3 mph, which is barely moving) to as fast as 11 mph if there was a decent, level road. Average speeds seem to have been about 7–9 mph most of the time.

A stagecoach is a four-wheeled public transport coach used to carry paying passengers and light packages on journeys long enough to need a change of horses. It is strongly sprung and generally drawn by four horses although some versions are drawn by six horses.
Both wagon and stagecoach travel were extremely uncomfortable for passengers. Passengers on stagecoaches experienced overcrowding. Stagecoaches had three-passenger seats with only a limited amount of space available for each person.
