Publisher's summary

Michael Gillespie applies his generous wit, dry humor, and historical insights to the school of railroading literature at the height of the steam era. Personal journals, press reports, and trade magazines all produced stories meant at the time to entertain readers… but which today offer a compelling folk history from the early days of railroads. 350 pages of railroad stories... with editorial introductions and commentary, dozens of historic photos, and a complete railroad glossary... make "OLD TIME RAILROAD STORIES" a true collector’s edition! Michael is also the author of two of the river's most respected steamboat histories, "COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, A Lively History of Steamboating on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers," and "WILD RIVER WOODEN BOATS, True Stories of Steamboating and the Missouri River," both published by Great River Publishing. Mike served as an official Discovery Guide on the American Queen steamboat during 2007, and has been featured guest on cable television’s History Channel. In April of 2012, Mike will debut on cable television’s Animal Planet.
