Book Overview

Goudie's Perpetual Sleigh Road Supersedes The Railway: And Is Capable Of Carrying Passengers At A Rate Of Eighty To One Hundred Miles An Hour is a book written by David R. Goudie in 1874. The book describes a new transportation technology that Goudie had invented, which he claimed would replace the railway. The technology was called the ""perpetual sleigh road"" and was capable of carrying passengers at a speed of 80 to 100 miles per hour. The book provides a detailed explanation of how the perpetual sleigh road works and the advantages it has over the railway. Goudie argues that the perpetual sleigh road is faster, cheaper, and more efficient than the railway, and that it would revolutionize transportation in the United States. He also provides examples of how the technology could be used in different parts of the country, including in cities and rural areas.Overall, Goudie's Perpetual Sleigh Road Supersedes The Railway: And Is Capable Of Carrying Passengers At A Rate Of Eighty To One Hundred Miles An Hour is a fascinating look at a transportation technology that never quite caught on. The book provides a unique perspective on the history of transportation in the United States and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
