Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Philadelphia During the Past Half Century My Esteemed Friend: In compliance with your request, that I give you a brief sketch of some of the events, public in nature, with which I have been connected since my residence in the city of Philadelphia and vicinity, I would state that in doing so, it brings to mind both grateful and sad recollections. You are aware, no doubt, that my native state is Kentucky. My grandfather received for his services during the struggle for independence, from his native state, Virginia, Land Scrip, which he located in the then county, now state of, Kentucky. I left Paris, the county-seat of Bourbon county, Kentucky, at eight o´clock, on the evening of the Fourth of January, 1841, and arrived in the city of Philadelphia at eight o´clock on the evening of the Eleventh. The Ohio River being frozen over at the time, the trip was consequently by stage, and consumed seven days and nights. On the occasion of my last visit to Kentucky, two years since, I went from Philadelphia to Paris, over the Pennsylvania Railroad, in less than thirty hours; enjoying all the comforts and conveniences furnished to the public by that great corporation, and at less than one-third of the cost of the seven days trip.
