But the Concord coaches had a system where the coach body swung on leather straps from the frame, and supposedly it was much smoother than a regular wagon would be. They were called "thorough brace slings" and have been described as "many-layered leather hammocks" that gave a swinging motion to the coach on rough roads. Better than a jolting motion!Susan Page Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740852155505691341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-71514121157566395402010-11-12T14:27:23.050-08:002010-11-12T14:27:23.050-08:00I would love to be entered in this contest too.

I have seen a stage coach in a museum and I think even with it going on a regular road it would give the riders plenty of bouncing and jiggling and not be a comfortable ride.<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-32809670145414692662010-11-12T13:37:26.250-08:002010-11-12T13:37:26.250-08:00Sounds like a fun book.
