Drawing of the Stage Coach Line from 1816

Written beneath this picture was –

" Above is a reproduction by Robert W. Chambers, Staff Artist of
the Halifax Chronicle, one of the old stage coaches which operated between
Halifax and points in the Annapolis Valley between the years 1829 and
1869 when the railway was opened between Windsor and Annapolis.

Unfortunately the original photograph of the coach, the property of Miss
Lillie Manning of Greenwich, King’s County, was not suited for reproduction
but the above sketch is accurate in every detail and was carefully drawn
from the original.

According to A.H.W. Eaton’s History of King’s County, the fare in this
coach from Halifax to Annapolis was $10.00, the journey occupying the
best part of two days. The History also relates an interesting story of
an accident on the line when sir Charles Tupper was a passenger, escorted
by Coachman Walsh."
