This richly comprehensive history by a self-proclaimed "low-brow" historian features more than 100 photographs and contemporary prints of America's railway system. Stewart H. Holbrook presents a dramatic, highly readable chronicle of the development of the backbone of the country's commerce and industry. Abounding in episodes of ingenuity and achievement, the growth of the railway system required constant improvements in techniques, devices, and machines, from the first wood burner that traveled on wooden rails to modern streamliners and diesel-powered giants.In addition to technological innovations, the colossal enterprise required courage and resolve to battle challenges posed by nature as well as by political maneuvering and corruption. This fascinating survey draws upon many hitherto unknown original sources and new data, in addition to firsthand accounts from hundreds of brakemen, conductors, engineers, and other railroad employees. Sound and authoritative, it constitutes a definitive history of America's railroads.

Super soft
Color: Brown Sable, Size: 60"x80"
I bought this last year as a gift for myself. Im such a sucker for blankets and honestly have way too many. I love the heaviness of this blanket. The size of it is great as a throw for the end of my bed or to pull over me if I get cold. It can tend to get a bit hot with being so thick. I love that it doesn't shed all over the place is great quality. This bla ket is super soft and looks amazing where its laying as a throw piece. It does have a bit of weight to it and makes you feel super comfortable laying under it. The scent of it was a bit weird coming straight out of the package, but once opened and had time to air out it was fine. I love this bla ket and would absolutely buy it again!

Luxury Soft Faux CHINCHILLA Fur
Color: Birch Mink, Size: 60"x80"
The softest fur in the world comes from chinchillas, which have fur that is 30 times softer than human hair. Other notably soft furs include those from mink and angora rabbits. So after much consideration, I ordered the FAUX CHINCHILLA fur throw and absolutely love love love it. I actually purchased it as a house warming present for a friend, but somehow ended up receiving two and I kid you not it is the best mistake I ever made next to matrimony. My honest opinion is to ignore all the nonsense gobbledygook reviews and focus on the winners like the one written by Macy. Yes it's heavy and I'll probably have it professionally cleaned when the time comes, but folks I kid you not it is the softest, prettist and most impressive throw I've experienced to date. As others recommended... buy it, wrap it around your body and experience just how incredibly delightful it really is!!!

Wonderful, super soft but very heavy.
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Very well-made very soft easy to clean. The only bad thing is it is so heavy. It’s like a super weighted blanket. It will keep you warm on the coldest of nights that’s guaranteed, but it’s really really heavy. Other than that. I absolutely love it. I use it as a comforter on my bed.

Gorgeous Blanket
Color: Smoky Sable, Size: 60"x80", Color: Smoky Sable, Size: 60"x80"
Beautiful smoky sable brown. It’s wonderfully soft and fluffy. It’s kind of a unique color of brown and it’s made very well. Quality item. Could be used for all seasons since it has the fur on one side and the smooth velvet on the back which is not too hot in warmer months. The first one I ordered had a strange oily spot on it but the seller was very kind gave me a refund and sent me another one for free. Definitely recommend the product and the seller!
The fur looks lighter in my pictures. It’s actually a good bit darker than what is depicted.
