Old Coaching Days Some Incidents in the Life of Moses James Nobbs, the last of the Mail Coach Guards

"Old Coaching Days" by Moses James Nobbs is a memoir where the author looks back at his time as a Mail Coach Guard, a job he had before trains took over. He tells stories from the 1830s about tough weather like big snowstorms that made traveling really hard. He talks about the dangers he faced, and sad times when accidents happened. While some people thought being a coach guard was exciting, Nobbs shows that it also meant dealing with everyday struggles. By the end, he thinks about how different things were back then compared to the new train system.
