Author Richard Allen introduces his new book titled "Reed Brown's 1841 Journey: America Through the Eyes of a Vermont Yankee"

In the fall of 1841, Vermonter Reed Brown set out on a two-month odyssey with two goals: to obtain a patent for his improved carriage springs, and to assist his brother Nathaniel, in jail in Ohio. Reed kept a journal that chronicles the dangers and difficulties, as well as some of the pleasures, of travel in that time.
