MAI Or COHAMBT, Mali 11 CHAPTER XXI. STAGECOACH, PACKET, AND RAILWAY. FOR a hundred and thirty years the people who settledin Cohasset had no regular public conveyance con-necting them with other towns. There was no stage-coach, so far as can be ascertained, before 1815. There were two reasons for this lateness in the meansof travel. First, we were a small community lying off the line ofpublic travel, because the road from Boston to Plymouthwas cut through by way of the old Indian trail a mile ormore west of us. Second, our location being upon the sea, we had anabundance of sailing craft as a means of transportation tothe metropolis. Furthermore, there was little need of travel previous tothe year 1800, for this community was able to produce athome almost the entire supply of its needs. What occa-sional travel was indulged was principally on foot toHingham, through which town the Kings Highway ranfrom Plymouth to Boston. F
