Excerpt from Canal Reminiscences: Recollections of Travel in the Old Days on the James River and Kanawha CanalBut shall we see better times? Why, yes, surely. They have begun already in Troy, N. Y., the papers say. And I verily believe the railway, which is to take the place of the canal, will do more than all things else to bring back work for all and money for all of us in our fair city of Richmond. Let us at least hope so. And with that hope in view, I trust that these reminiscences of an obsolescent mode of travel - which may have been delightful, but cer tainly was not rapid - will give a few moments of pleasure to the friends of the publishers and of the writer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
