Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the very first passenger train to roll down the tracks in 1825 to the advent of todayâs high-speed trains, the railroad has been and is still one of the most vital forces in civilization. Focusing on American railroad history but touching on other countries, award-winning author Milton Meltzer shows how something as ubiquitous as the railroad is, in fact, a force that changed the world.
