Stagecoach Travel

The stagecoach was the travel wonder of its age: passengers in Britain could board a fast coach and be shuttled from one end of the country to the other, stopping only in stages to hitch up fresh horses and take a little light refreshment at coaching inns. This beautiful little book details the routes, proprietors, and coaching inns; the customers and why they chose to travel; and also the perils of early road travel. Among the many beautiful, full-color, illustrations are reproductions of Regency-era prints and ephemera from the author's own collection. Softcover, 64 pages.
