Coaching Days & Ways

"Coaching Days & Ways" by E. D. Cuming, tells about the exciting times of horse-drawn coaches in Britain during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The book explores everything about coaching, like the difficulties coachmen faced, new ways of coaching, and how trains changed this important way of getting around. The author shares interesting stories and observations, showing what life was like for coachmen, the dangers of coach travel, and how competitive the coaching business was. Cuming describes accidents and challenges, highlighting both the skills of the coachmen and the risks they faced. The book also looks at how better roads and coaching methods led to a "golden age" of coaching and describes how coaching influenced society and transportation before trains became popular.
