520 _a"Coaching Days & Ways" by E. D. Cuming is a historical account written in the early 20th century that explores the world of horse-drawn coaching in Britain, particularly its heyday during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This book delves into the intricacies of coaching, including the challenges faced by coachmen, the evolution of coaching practices, and the impact of railways on this once-thriving mode of transport. The narrative combines anecdotal evidence with observational accounts, illustrating the life and times of coachmen, the risks of traveling by coach, and the competitive nature of the coaching industry. Cuming vividly recounts various experiences, including mishaps and accidents, showcasing both the skill of the coachmen and the dangers inherent in their profession. The book also reflects on the technological advancements in road-building and coaching techniques that led to what is often referred to as the "golden age" of coaching, painting a detailed picture of how coaching affected social dynamics and transport before the advent of the railway era.
