The Stagecoach Wars.
The safety of the passengers traveling through Indian country could not be vouchsafed by anyone but God. Raiding warriors attacked stagecoaches in every state of territory from the Great Plains west.

with passengers leaning out to shoot at their pursuers…
Scene no 29: Wells Fargo Overland Stage with driver and attacking Indians trying to climb onto the roof of the coach (Alps Toys, battery operated tin toy, made in Japan). Three impressive cowboys (Lafredo copies, plastic figures made in Hong Kong) have taken over the defense.
