Reviews
"This book provides a holistic (i.e., by mode of transport) perspective of the realities of the human experience of travel as the technology and operational supply of transport service evolved during the Victorian era and the years immediately preceding and following. I know of no other extant publication that provides this perspective." John Spychalski, Professor Emeritus, The Pennsylvania State University, White provides a comprehensive and highly readable examination of travel in the US during the 19th century . . . Throughout this massive work, the author repeatedly captures the romance, flavor, and color associated with travel. . . . Although White indicates that he designed this study for lay readers, everyone, including scholars of transportation, technology, and social and cultural life, will find valuable material. . . . Highly recommended., "...[A] popular history, informative and engaging...White has given us a book that's as unusual as it is useful.

The content and organization is highly organized and the text is clearly written with a breadth of expression and vivid richness in detail. The narrative flows as smoothly as a raft or keelboat down a lazy river, inticing readers to look ahead arouund the next bend to discover a time when travel was a true adventure and arguably the most democratic conveyance available to a young, yet hopeful nation." --Journal of Transport History, This book provides a holistic (i.e., by mode of transport) perspective of the realities of the human experience of travel as the technology and operational supply of transport service evolved during the Victorian era and the years immediately preceding and following.

Fantastic seller to deal with. Kept me informed and were super helpful and friendly. Provided tracking information so I could see where my order was and when to expect delivery.
