Great railroad stories of the world
Rare Books
This first inclusive collection of railroad stories recaptures the romance of the rails for the reader who may have forgotten it in this era of jet propulsion. It runs the entire gamut from the early masters of the story - Dickens, T.E. Lawrence, and Hauptmann - to the more modern writers in the field, such as A.W. Somerville and Frank L. Packard. Here we have stories, not only by such writers as William Saroyan, Thomas Wolfe, and Marquis James, but also by such recognized specialists as Jack McLarn, W.E. Hayes, Octavus Roy Cohen, Douglas Welch, and Lucius Beebe. Among these enthralling tales is that of the famous Confederate train stolen by Northern freebooters during the Civil War; tales of humor and tragedy on the railroad; exciting episodes involving dynamiting of trains and bridges; thrilling wreck scenes; and stories with a more romantic modern flavor--Adapted from jacket.

Walter De la Mare Papers
Manuscripts
The collection consists entirely of correspondence and five photographs, it does not contain any manuscript material. The strength of the collection is the correspondence, which spans decades, between De la Mare and other writers, including Morchard Bishop, H.C. Duffin and Fredoon Kabraji; the collection also includes a series of letters from the poet Richard Church to H.C. Duffin. Over the course of the correspondence it is possible to trace De la Mare's views of poetry and writing -- both the origin and expression of his own poetry and fiction, as well as the work of other writers. The letters also deal with personal matters: De la Mare's own health and the illness and death of his son-in-law, Rupert Thompson. One subject which is not discussed is World War II; though the letters span the war years and were written in England there is no mention of the war, bombing raids, rationing, or other any details of living in England during the war. The De la Mare Papers include two collections previously cataloged as the Morchard Bishop and H.C. Duffin collections.

Visual Materials
Language: French ; English Artist(s): Woodville, Richard Caton, 1856-1927 Notes: "R. Caton Woodville 1918" ; "This painting will form a historic souvenir of a historic event--the entry of British troops into the outskirts of Mons on the day of the Armistice, November 11, 1918, amid the joyful welcome of the inhabitants. It places on record also the kind of mutual greetings which were exchanged between / our men and the people. They took the form of such familiar phrases as 'Guerre finie! Boche Napoo!' Short, but very expressive and adequate to the occasion. All that they implied was visible in kindling eyes and happy faces. / From the painting by R. Caton Woodville. Copyrighted in the United States and Canada."--text, bottom margin, centered.
