Wild River, Wooden Boats

There was a time when nothing moved faster than a train. When the arrival of the daily passenger train was the high point of most any day in small town America. The era from the 1870s through the 1910s were ripe with action, adventure, tragedy, melodrama, and comic relief...all just waiting to be written In the first of his three collections of railroad stories Gillespie has presented tales of righteousness and morality set amidst the background of coal smoke and the incessant clatter of the telegraph sounder. It is a wonderful compilation of stories; a national treasure.
