The pioneer days of America's railroads were filled with all the turbulent romance of early America: the conquering of wild mountain ranges; desperatte fights against marauding Indians; revolutionary inventions; tragic wrecks. Above all, there was the knowledge that this gleaming web of steel was uniting a vast new continent.

Lavishly illustrated with conemporary prints, paintings, and photographs, RAILROADS IN THE DAYS OF STEAM graphically conveys the westering spirit of our forebears. If you have questions about this item, or request additional images, please contact us.
