Item Details

Description

1893 1st ed TRAINS The Flying Horse Locomotive Railroad Engineering Henry Frith

Henry Frith’s ‘The Flying Horse’ is a relatively unknown and underutilized 19th-century reference on the history and development of the railway. Trains have always been a popular topic in literature and Frith captured this in his 1893 adventure story. This book, a fusion of general and anecdotal history, covers the dangers of early locomotives, train wrecks, and engineering marvels.

This book was widely quoted throughout early 20th-century literature for its authority on railroads and locomotives.
