Written with humor and affection, and enhanced with the author's charming, historically accurate drawings, this book takes readers on a leisurely journey through a bygone era. Fascinating accounts describe networks of canals, corduroy roads, and turnpikes; waterwheels and icehouses; colorful road signs and their painters; circus folk; and more. Brimming with anecdotes about people and the times, this delightful narrative remains a genuine and permanent contribution to the field of Americana. 81 black-and-white illustrations.
