- Description
- They were a hardbitten crew--the men who built the railroads and the men who ran the trains. With a sure hand Phyllis Fenner has chosen ten stories that dramatize different phases of railroading and describe many types of men: those who worked with dogged persistence, and those who tried to come up the easy way; those who were down to earth, and those who indulged in a bit of fancy--to the the confusion of their comrades. Among the authors included are: Stephen Vincent Benét, Sholom Aleichem, and Conrad Richter--Adapted from jacket.
