An Old Coachman's Chatter, with Some Practical Remarks on Driving
Edward Corbett and John Sturgess
When the royal mail ran on four horses, the coachman was king of the road. Edward Corbett's reminiscences roll through the great mail routes, the wrecks and runaways, and the battles against snow, fog, and flood, with horses at the heart of every tale. The lost world of the English highway, told by a driver. Climb up to the box seat.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
