With significantly more illustrations and builder’s drawings than the first edition, this volume explores a wide variety of sleigh types—from Albany and Portland cutters to Canadian, cabriolets, and closed-body styles. The book features detailed descriptions, including dimensions, construction materials, trim, and paint specifications.
A glossary of sleigh-related terms and newly added essays on early sleighing traditions provide added historical context. Whether you're studying sleigh design, restoring a period vehicle, or simply interested in early winter transportation, this comprehensive resource offers an in-depth look at the artistry and engineering behind horse-drawn sleighs.
