Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Roads Out of Philadelphia
Some one has compared the old roads out of Phila delphia to the sticks of a lady's fan. If an opened fan is laid on the map of Philadelphia and its surrounding country westward, the boundary sticks may be made to conform to the Delaware. The city itself will be covered by the open portion of the fan, while the radi ating sticks will correspond after a fashion to the ten great old roads, several of which date from the later years of the seventeenth century.
