Caldwells at Greenbrier Bridge was a river-crossing stop in the mountains of what is now West Virginia, a place where travelers paused to eat and change horses. The scene in this picture shows a dinner table set for travelers, which captures a part of overland journey that is easy to overlook: the brief meal taken between long stretches on rough roads. Inns like this one were built around river crossings because the bridge brought traffic through the valley, and the meal was often the only comfortable break of the day. Notice how the room is arranged for many guests at once, a reminder of how busy such houses could be when coaches arrived together.
