Speed ! Speed ! Ever more speed ! Iron rails which stretch to remote corners of the earth ! Man's age-old problem of land travel and transportation solved at last!
What could be more thrilling than the story of the Iron Horse-that marvel of science which revolutionized the world and opened up the American continent to settlement and civilization!
Here is the romance of locomotive history in America in a series of striking pictures by Otto Kuhler, well-known industrial designer. In these pictures he re-creates, with unusual dry-brush technique, the historic setting for each engine "portrait."
Robert S. Henry, an official of the Association of American Railroads, gives a clear concise account of the history of steam locomotion in America, enlivened with interesting, colorful incidents which show the human picture behind this great engineering development.
This happy combination of dramatic, realistic pictures and fascinating facts makes PORTRAITS OF THE IRON HORSE entertaining reading for all who are interested in the expansion and development of America.
