About this book

Roadside inns and the coaches that stopped at them are the subject of Alice Morse Earle's social history of 1900. Its nineteen chapters begin with the Puritan ordinary and the tavern landlord, then cover signboards, taverns in wartime, the move from path to turnpike, packhorse and Conestoga wagon, early stage-coaches and their drivers, the pains of coach travel, the Knights of the Road and tavern ghosts. Illustrations show signboards, taproom furnishings and old bills of fare.
