| Sommario/riassunto: | In this social history of the impact of railroads on American life, H. Roger Grant concentrates on the railroad's ""golden age,"" 1830-1930. To capture the essence of the nation's railroad experience, Grant explores four fundamental topics-trains and travel, train stations, railroads and community life, and the legacy of railroading in America-illustrating each topic with carefully chosen period illustrations. Grant recalls the lasting memories left by train travel, both of luxurious Pullman cars and the grit and grind of coal-powered locals. |
