Not a great while ago, passing through the gate of dreams, I visited that region of the earth in which lies the famous City of Destruction. It interested me much to learn that by the public spirit of some of the inhabitants a railroad has recently been established between this populous and flourishing town and the Celestial City. Having a little time upon my hands, I resolved to gratify a liberal curiosity by making a trip thither. Accordingly, one fine morning after paying my bill at the hotel, and directing the porter to stow my luggage behind a coach, I took my seat in the vehicle and set out for the station-house. It was my good fortune to enjoy the company of a gentleman-one Mr. Smooth-it-away-who, though he had never actually visited the Celestial City, yet seemed as well acquainted with its laws, customs, policy, and statistics, as with those of the City of Destruction, of which he was a native townsman. Being, moreover, a director of the railroad corporation and one of its largest stockholders, he had it in his power to give me all desirable information respecting that praiseworthy enterprise.

Download The Celestial Railroad (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from The Celestial Railroad Hawthorne's bright and witty parody upon Bunyan's immortal allegory, "The Pilgrim's Progress," first appeared in the Democratic Review. The satire was so keen and witty and at the same time so genial in tone, that it was republished by the American Sunday-school Union a few months after its first appearance under the title "A Visit to the Celestial City." Hawthorne's name was not attached to it. He was not then widely known as an author. As one of his biographers says of him at this period, "He wrote stories and published them in magazines, but nobody knew who wrote them. ...For a long time it was supposed they were written by a woman." About three years after the story was issued by the Union, it was reprinted in a London edition of "Mosses from an Old Manse," and four years later still in an American edition of the same book.
