Popular Resorts, And How To Reach Them: Combining A Brief Description Of The Principal Summer Retreats In The United States, And The Routes Of Travel Leading To Them - Softcover
Synopsis
Before the age of flight, the holiday began on the timetable. Pack light and travel far. John B. Bachelder's Popular Resorts, And How To Reach Them captures the thrill of setting out for the summer resorts of the United States, from bustling seaside promenades to cool mountain verandas. Part vintage travel guidebook, part railroad route guidebook, this historic American resort guide brings together brisk descriptions of leading retreats and the practical routes that connected them in the 19th century United States. Bachelder writes at the turning point when railways, steamers, and carriage roads made leisure travel newly achievable. It reads as an itinerary of ambitions: where to go, how to get there, and what each destination promised. For modern readers, the clipped details illuminate networks, costs, and choices in motion. Keep it close for quick consultation today too. It is a window onto gilded age tourism: the growth of rail routes to resorts, the rise of resort culture, and the geography of aspiration as Americans chased salt air and highland breezes. Read for armchair wandering among seaside and mountain retreats, or consult it as a local history reference book whose place-names, lines, and destinations can support genealogy local history research. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure: a facsimile reprint edition for readers who love travel writing, historians of transport, and collectors vintage travel book ephemera alike.
