Very interesting. But, they meant “genteel” class and not “gentile” class, right? Edit: I’m finding so many grammatical errors in this piece (“Coaches now were now better sprung”) that spelling errors are hardly surprising.

>Very, very few of the unaccompanied females will be of the gentile class.

Clearly you should expect unaccompanied females on an 1816 stagecoach journey to be Jewish.

Yeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of the article and realized that it was probably one of the less egregious errors in TFA.

It's an interesting article, no doubt, but be prepared to reread a few sentences. It's almost as annoying as the large amount of dns-prefetch going on to make sure those trackers have their names resolved upfront. :-)

Potentially interesting, but it was hard to read. The author needs to do a thorough proofread of this post, and potentially some editing.

And finish it - the journey so far seems to be from the yard to the road!

This post is a teaser that ends with a call to action to buy their book about stagecoaches.
