A smaller and more lightly constructed version of the one-horse shay is called a chair or whiskey because it can whisk around other carriages and pass them quickly.
From new cities to one-horse crossroads, from flyblown flat lands to high-country outposts, building lots were reserved, funds were rounded up and working bees arranged.
The toll was not to exceed five cents per pedestrian, 25 cents for one-horse vehicles, 50 cents for two-horse vehicles, and other reasonable rates for other classes.
