"A Facsimile of the 1894 Edition, with over 250 illustrations. To the scale models, drawings and relics he gathered together of the Exhibition he added the fervor of a railroad buff and the expertise of a railroad executive. The result is a volume that does for the locomotive what Boswell did for Johnson. This is a lively narrative told in the present tense, filled with anecdotes and little-known details, bringing into focus the tensions, the frustrations, the disasters, the boundless confidence and faith that colored the lives of the railroad pioneers." : B&W Illustrations: 9.75 x 11.75 in.: 164 pages.
