Horseback Honeymoon

Continuing with the wedding theme but moving to the Walker side of the family, meet Harriet Harris Upham and John Sydney Walker.


Harriet and John were married on January 31, 1848, before embarking upon their honeymoon journey on horseback. The travel list shown below, in either Harriet or John's hand, describes "Splendid conditions. A wedding journey on horseback." Beginning in Charlestown, New Hampshire and ending in Claremont, they traveled 1,000 miles.
