Book review:

Stage Coach and Tavern Days

 

by Alice Morse Earle

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1900

Reissued by Singing Tree Press, Detroit, MI

449 pages

 

Old-fashioned, folksy prose. Stage Coach and Tavern Days is just dripping with details for the sincere history buff or historian.

Just in case you forgot, taking a ride in a stagecoach was a noisy, dusty, bone-thumping experience…and there was no onboard bathroom.

If you have a secret love affair with stage coaches, and taverns, and spirituous beverages in the 18th century, dive in.
