About This Item
From front DJ flap: "This handsome volume takes the reader on an adventure-filled journey along America's early railroads, through some of the most colorful and exciting moments in American history.
Birth of the railroad - Baltimore - 1827
"Those early years were filled with romance: the thrill of Promontory Point; Indian raids; train robberies; the conquering of high mountain ranges; and the long, long trek across the wide prairies." In the Civil War, the trains moved troops and supplies. And, much more - up to more current times.
Book - Very Good condition. Lots of colorful images. Very minimal wear. Clean text and tight binding.
Dust Jacket - Poor condition. Lots of edge wear, chips, and tears. Some have been taped. Paper is brittle in areas .
