THE FOREST CITY (N, C) COURIER TRAVEL IN 1816 VERY ARDUOUS Journey of 650 Miles From Philadelphia to Morganton Required Nearly Three Weeks. It is hard to realize in this day when distances have been unbe lievably shortened by trains, auto mobiles and airplanes, that just a little more than a hundred years ago a journey of five or six hun dred miles-was a long and arduous undertaking. Mr, Isaac T. Avery, a Morgan ton attorney, has in his posses sion a very interesting letter writ-1 ten in 1816 by his great-grandfath er, col. Waightstdll Avery, of Swans Pond, to his nephew, James Avery, in Philadelphia, giving him directions for a proposed journey from Philadelphia to Morganton, a distance of approximately 650 miles. The letter, now 115 years old has been carefully preserved. Col. Avery, its author was the first attorney-general of North Car olina, a signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and a noted lawyer of his day. The journey about which he wrote consumed more than 20 days, required 20 overnight stops at "houses of entertainment," with many changes of conveyance dur ing the days and tiring out of more than 100 horses. The letter follows: "Swans Pond Near Morganton, N. C., "April 20, 1816. "Dear Nephew: "Your highly esteemed favour of the 27th, ult. I rec. on the 14th of April instant: Be assured that the contemplated visit of your self and your good Sisters to Burke County hath raised the Hopes and wishes of all my Fam ily here that you may persevere and that we may have th? plea sure to see you and have your Company in this County. "I have yiesterday conversed with Marcus Erwin on the Subject of Stages—he spent the last Win ter in Philadelphia attending Lec tures on Anatomy, etc, etc. "He says that from Richmond to Petersburg a Stage runs every Day, and that from Petersburg to Raleigh a Stage runs, and starts either three times a Week or every Day. Raleigh is the Seat of Government in North Carolina, abut 220 Miles from Morganton. which is only four miles from my home. One stage runs from Ral eigh to Salem. And another and a better stage runs from Raleigh Ito Salisbury on a different road, I about 80 miles from my home. ' which I would recommend in pre i ference to Salem. This stage starts from Raleigh every Satur day morning and arrives at Salis bury on Tuesday Evening. Houses of Entertainment on this route at Chapel Hill, Deep River, and at Lexington are deemed good. No stage runs from Salisbury to Mor ganton, distance of 80 miles. This may be divided into three Days Traveling— "lst Day to Captain James Houston, Merchant at the Brick- House, or Parson McCree's, both near Center Meeting House in r Iredell County. "2nd Day cross the Catawba j River at Beaty's Ford and reach. General Joseph Graham's in Lin coln County or L ; ncolnton, a smart j thriving Village at the Courthouse. ; "3rd Day reach Morganton or my ! House four miles farther. "If you are not only Serious but j also resolute in your intentions o j come to Burke or try to come, I ; am desirous to know it, and to , write to some of my acquaintances j requesting them to show you and ; your dear Sisters the Courte?> i they will be anxious to show you j when they may be informed that j you are related to me. "In particular Mr. and Mrs. j Marshall, who keep a Boarding j House for the members of Assem- : bly at Raleigh with whom my son boarded for two or three sessions and Mr. John Haywood, Treasurer of the State; Mr. Dusenberry in! Lexington on the . Way to Salis bury; Captain James Houston, Merchant and Parson McCiee, both near Center Meeting House in Iredell County: Gen. Joseph j Graham in Lincoln County, Chris:.- j ian Rhinehardt, Merchant, Lincoln- j ton. . 1 "If you should tarry at Raleigh j a sufficient time to have washing ' |done, you might write to me and j -rive me Notice that you were on | the Road, and I suppose I could i.nd one Horse forward for you. j and a Gig for your two sisters, to | meet you at Salisbury which my ! Son says he would ba very willing ,*° a s you / might not be able j readily to find a Hackney Coach |to be hired. i an the baggage for your two I Sisters be stored in a Hair-trunk | and your own in one or two pair of [ Saddle Bags? If they could, the ar { rangement for bringing the Trav&l --j ® a Sgage from Salisbury, to this i place may be made easy. My son is now gone with our Cattle to the Mountains for their Summer Range; if he was at Home, he would probably write you by this Mail which will leave Morganton tomorrow morning. I pray that Providence may shower down upon you and your dear Sisters the best of Heaven's Blessings. , \ ~ . t . . -r- ■>» "Mrs. Avery, my Son, Isaac T. Avery, and his Wife, Harriot, de sire me to present their best re spects and affectionate Love to you and your dear Sisters; and to wish you a safe and pleasant jour ney in your intended visit.
