HOWE ^ "away, away, from men and towns to thb wildwood and the downs." —Shelley. PRIVATELY PRINTED 1906 Copyright, 1906, by Frances S. Howe. f 8BNTINB1, PRINTING CO. PITCHBURG. FOREWORD. Many of these informal reports of more than 14,000 miles' driving were written for the Boston Evening Transcript some years ago, and the later letters for the Leominster Daily Enterprise. They cover an unbroken series of summer and autumn journeys, which have never lost any of the freshness and charm of that first little trip of two hundred miles along the Connecticut. A drive across other side of thethe continent, or even on the water would seem less of an event to us now than that tofirst carriage journey. This volume is a response "You ought to make a book," from many who have been interested in our rare experience. F. C. A. F. S. H. Leominster, Mass. CONTENTS. I.
