Boston Express Wanderer Talks of Old Days in Lowell

A morning train to Boston prompts an elderly traveler to recount stagecoaches and canal journeys from Lowell to Boston in the 1830s. He recalls Jackson’s era, the Corner Book Store, and crowded taverns, contrasting past routes with modern mileage and rail progress. A later note covers local weddings and notable Lowell figures tied to music and automotive feats.
