About this book
A stagecoach ride into Vermont brings Marco Paul and his cousin Forester among river meadows, mountain roads and a changing company of travelers. Marco's father has entrusted him to Forester so that outdoor activity can help restore his health while he continues his studies. Jacob Abbott builds this children's travel story around the boy's observations, beginning with the Connecticut River route and the geography of the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain.
Conversations along the road turn ordinary encounters into lessons about plants, manners and unfamiliar dangers. The outdoor episodes also test Marco's judgment: in one passage, a swift current overturns a boat, and his concern over a lost cap sends him back onto the river. Detailed explanations of travel and water movement accompany the action.
