The Iron Horse: How Railroads Changed America by Richard Wormser
This is a hardback, ex-library book. It has a dustjacket and is in a mylar cover. The book has glossy paper and is in very good condition.
"From Publishers Weekly: This substantial volume provides an evenhanded history of the growth and impact of the railroads in 19th-century America. Wormser begins with the first primitive engines, describes the struggle to construct transcontinental lines and concludes with the issuing of safety regulations at the end of the century. Balancing the emphasis on "progress" is a revealing and dramatic presentation of the railroad industry's seamy underside. Oppressive treatment of workers led to such confrontations as the Pullman strike of 1894; exploitive and monopolistic practices sparked farmers' revolts; and the development of the railroads decimated Native American cultures. Well-chosen black-and-white illustrations suggest the spirit of adventure, while a glossary ("gandy dancer" means track laborer) adds color. Ages 10-up." New this cost $18.95. Asking $9.00ppd. NOW $7.00ppd. NOW $6.00ppd.

These come from a non-smoking and no pet home. I would prefer to be paid by a money order (in which case I will ship immediately) but will also accept a personal check (in which case I will ship once your check clears). Sorry, but I do not take paypal. If you would like insurance, add an additional $1.65.
