About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Driving As has been the case in later days with the bicycle and the automobile, the introduction of coaches in England produced much adverse argument, and many vigorous diatribes were directed against them as tending to obstruct the necessarily narrow ways, to impede traffic and to endanger foot passengers; and the same objections were made to them in America. Still, carriages were in use here as early as 168 5, though very rarely, and it is said that as late as 1 772 only thirty-eight private carriages were owned and rarely used - in Philadelphia. The testimony of a traveller (english) in Boston in 1740 was to the effect that chaises and saddle hacks (the saddle animals being all pacers) were plenty; carriages very rare; and that draught labour was mostly performed by oxen. The type of carriage then in use was rather on the lines of the modern rockaway, holding from six to twelve people on its three or four seats, and entered only from the front by clambering upon the Shafts or the splinter-bar and thence crawling over and under the other passengers to one's seat. The calash, the whisky, the chaise, the curricle (the forefathers of the buggy) were all in use; while the chariot and the coach (on what is w called concord lines) were the favourite four-wheeled vehicles.
