Six Man Coaching Team Ruins Run From New York to Philadelphia
The six men shared a feat by driving horses from New York to Philadelphia and back in under 20 hours. The journey required careful advance planning with agents guiding transfers. Young Howlett led the demanding driving while hailed as the best amateur whip in the world. The route diverged from Washingtons historic path via Perth Amboy and Newark, with modern bicyclists often tracing the earlier route and using ferries to Staten Island and the Battery.
