Excerpt from Southeastern Massachusetts: Its Shores and Islands, Woodlands and Lakes, and How to Reach Them, With Information for the Sportsman and Tourist, and for All in Search of Rest and Recreation Within a few hours' ride from the metropolis are sections of country and seaboard, which, in variety of character, loveliness of climate, and grandeur of scenery, are unsurpassed by any of the celebrated and more distant watering-places on the continent. The man of business may have his summer home fifty to a hundred miles distant, amid the beauties of nature, and yet, while engaged at his daily calling, be within a few hours of the domestic circle, or may himself enjoy his days of rest and recreation with his family, and be within easy reach of his business. The old colony railroad, whose lines cover a third of the old Bay State, and embrace all the principal cities, towns, villages, and pleasure resorts of Southeastern Massachusetts, is conceded to be one of the best appointed roads in the country. Stretching its iron arms in every direction, it groups Boston, Plymouth, Taunton, New Bedford, Fall River, the famous summer resorts of Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Cape Cod, Newport and Warren, R. I., and New York, and by its connections, Saratoga, Niagara, the White Mountains, the British Dominions, and the South and West. Passing through a country unsurpassed for its ocean views and inland beauty, and around which cluster the most interesting historic memories, it affords an avenue unrivalled for speedy and comfortable transit.
