Rambles in Colonial By-Ways is a book by Rufus Rockwell Wilson, published in fifteen chapters over two volumes in 1901 by J. B. Lippincott Company.[1] It includes photogravures and half-tones from drawings and photographs by William Lincoln Hudson. It was described as being "rich in memories of the past"[2] and "treat[ing] colonial matters upon an entirely novel plan."[3] William Hilton, in the Boston Home Journal, described the book as being "one of the most pleasant travel-books of the period."[4]
Some of the chapters are based on passages which appeared in Lippincott's, Harper's Weekly, The New England Magazine and Churchman but were substantially rewritten.
