A genealogist�s dream if you are interested in coaching, coaches, coach drivers, coach journey�s, coach fares, coach accidents, coaching inn�s in fact anything coaching in the Otago and Southland area. Many of the coaches and drivers came to New Zealand from the Victorian goldfields. A lot of the coach drivers were American as were the coaches.
The author, Edgar MacLeod Lovell-Smith has written a delightful book and includes such gems as �Driving on the road in the winter (Andrew) Chapman would arrive sometimes with his beard a mass of ice. It would have to be thawed out with hot water� (p120) and �The coach (driven by Robert (Bob) Galloway) (was) going over a pot-hole in the road, (when) a stoutish woman on the box seat was bounced off the coach, landing on her head in a mud-hole. There she was stuck, and the passengers, going to her assistance, found her unconscious. "Give her head a waggle and see if the neck is broken", said one man. However she was merely stunned, and after a drop of brandy has been given her quickly recovered� (p127). Photos and sketches abound throughout the book.
