520 _a"14000 Miles, A Carriage and Two Women" by Frances S. Howe is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the extensive journeys of two adventurous women who embark on remarkable carriage trips across various picturesque landscapes in New England, showcasing their explorations and experiences along the way. The account captures the charm of their summer travels, highlighting the challenges and beauty of the open road, the companionship shared, as well as the people they encounter throughout their travels. The opening of the book sets the stage for these journeys, beginning with a spirit of adventure as the authors reflect on their early experiences riding through beautiful landscapes. They recount their decision to travel by phaeton—a light carriage—and their initial foray through the Connecticut River valley, despite expressing concerns from their community about the safety of two women traveling alone. The narrative develops as they describe their preparations, including packing essentials and carefully planning their routes, while also recounting vivid moments from their journeys. They share delightful anecdotes of their encounters with nature, local residents, and the camaraderie found in the shared experience of exploration. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
