Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The General Manager's Story: Old-Time Reminiscences of Railroading, in the United States
DO I remember my first day's railroading? In deed I do, my boy, although it was nearly forty years ago. Yes, I remember it, and every day's railroad ing I have done since. The speaker was General Manager M Of a great railroad system branch ing out from Chicago, the lines of which form the connecting link between that great metropolis and hundreds of cities and towns far away on the prai ries, or among the mountains, giving employment to thousands Of men, and furnishing the means of transportation to thousands more. Mr. M who had been a lifelong friend Of my father, was a fine Old gentleman, with a ruddy, jovial countenance, kindly blue eyes, and I think the most beautiful silvery hair I have ever seen.
