Introduction

The chief object of this volume is to record the adventures and misadventures of a ten-days’ trolley trip from Delaware to Maine–a distance of about five hundred miles, as the electrics run. As the dominant idea was a pleasant outing, the two travelers did not follow the direct route, preferring in every case the allurements of an attractive countryside to the mere saving of time and distance. For there are more things in trolleying than are dreamt of in the philosophy of time-tables and connecting schedules. Though the experiences here recorded are in the main autobiographical, yet the sequence of events has sometimes been changed, and an element of fiction added to give unity to the narrative.

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
