Summary
"Nicklin writes with great perception and humor of his experiences while traveling across Pennsylvania in 1835 by canal, stage coach, inclined plane and railroad. His interesting and detailed descriptions of these conveyances and the anecdotes he relates in this connection with such relish, make his twelve letters, which we publish here in their entirety, a classic of American non-fiction."
