| Trains of the Old West |
| By : Brian Solomon |
Destined to be a cherished favorite of both history buffs and railroad aficionados, this handsome volume explores one of the most exciting periods in the history of the United States. The coming of the railroads to the West forever changed the character of the frontier, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another. Trains of the Old West tells the stories of such pioneering visionaries as Theodore Judah, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford, who faced and overcame tremendous obstacles in their quest to forge a nationwide rail system. Gorgeously illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs, Trains of the Old West is a unique tribute to the adventurous, pioneering spirit in which the United States was built.
