Description

During summers the author lives in her 7 room log cabin, "Stage Coach Lodge", which is off Stage Coach Road, in Alton, New Hampshire. The cabin sits on a hill overlooking Wolfeboro Bay. Since mid 1700 to 1900, stage coaches were the most popular form of transportation until the automobile took over. As population in New Hampshire grew, and the onset of the Abbot-Downing stage coach in 1823 to 1897 in Concord, N.H., the only thing that changed was intended use.. The steamboat on Lake Winnepausakee as well as the steam engine train decreased some of the long distance drives of some of the stage coaches, but increased local use such as train station to innor tavern. Morah and Walter's daughter fell in love with an Ohio boy, and exciting adventures took place before marriage on graduation day. Morah and Walter were pillars. Before the century ended, Buffalo Bill Cody made a dramatic entrance in Concord. The author met the real Morah at Florida Southern College in 1995. Ruth was 79, Morah 70. After graduation the following year, Ruth traveled to New Zealand and Australia where she met and stayed four days with Morah's sister, Jean. From teens to oldies, you'll enjoy the story. It moves fast!
