Wow. I hope I never get my death on a horse car it sounds terribly tragic.
Things were surely different "back in his day" but were they really better? Perhaps this show the past is something to learn from not something to be idealized.
If I read between the lines, does this mean BERy was murdering passengers?
"Got his death" please.
oops, i forgot to credit Airport with the find. credit!
and that's what i love about old-time descriptions of horrible events. such as private transit operators from the 1800s murdering old men.
the other thing i recall reading about these old urban horsecar services were dead horses dumped in the gutter.
what gilded times.
