Abstract:
Carriages are horse-drawn wheeled vehicles built especially for carrying passengers. The Ellis Carriage Works of Kinston, established in 1886 as Oliver Ellis & Brothers was the first manufacturer of this means of transportation in North Carolina. The article depicts a trip from Asheville to Webster in a carriage, including the early technical problems of this mode of transportation.
