Emily Garber will discuss "How Did They Get From There from Here? Bradshaw's Railway Guide and Other Tools." This topic refers to the idea of using historical travel guides, particularly "Bradshaw's Railway Guide," to trace the journey of individuals, especially immigrants, from their origin point to their destination, by understanding the available transportation routes and timeframes during their era, essentially mapping out "how they got there from where they started."
