Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appletons' Illustrated Hand-Book of American Travel: A Full and Reliable Guide by Railway, Steamboat, and StageWe have thought it best to follow the familiar geographical order of the various divisions of the country, and thus to begin at Canada on the extreme north-east, and, continuing along the shores of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, end upon the Pacific, westward. With rare exceptions, we have, instead of selecting a particular route and seeing all it offers of attraction, jumped at once to our especial destination, and then intimated the way by which it is reached. Thus, if the traveller happens to be in New York or Boston, and desires to go to New Orleans, he will, by turning to New Orleans, find the routes thither. The chief cities are taken as starting points for all other and lesser places in their neighborhood. It has not, of course, been possible to mention every village or town in the Union, in the narrow limits of a pocket volume, like this.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
