Road Trip: 1820s style (with Metal Content, too!)
I'm transcribing a hand-written travel journal detailing a road trip
from London to Scotland in 1820. There are a few paragraphs about a visit to the Carron Iron works - the bottom of http://home.twcny.rr.com/dcjones/Sco...ly-31-1820.htm and the top of the next entry talk about the visit. Sadly, there are no illustrations of the Iron works. I'm trying to add an entry every day or so, if you're interested. Dan |

I mean way cool -- I sent a link to my wife and son so he can read it for history. A suggestion, though: Put a link to the first page on _every_ subsequent page. Better yet, have an active table of contents that links to each day's entry. For an example of how I did it with a scanned-in book, go to http://www.wescottdesign.com/articles/MSK/mskTop.html. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Posting from Google?

Hi, Tim. Thanks for the suggestion - when I've got the transcription
finished, I'll place an active TOC and additional links to make navigation easier. Great suggestions! Thanks... Dan Tim Wescott wrote: That's cool.

Thanks, Mark. When it comes time to transcribe the daily ledger, can I
pester you for some help in figuring out the monetary symbols? The writer kept a meticulous record of all expenses, down to the tolls required to pass through gates and such. Daily travel distances, too. Interesting currency - it sure aren't what I'm used to! Thanks...
