Dust jacket is very torn and the front half of it is tucked inside the front of the book. Otherwise the book is in very good condition.

Following the immense success of his 20TH CENTURY Lucius Beebe continues triumphantly across the continent with this new book about another candy train (Chicago-San Francisco). The story, told in his inimitable way, is freighted with anecdotes about the great and famous who boarded it. For this was the train which, more than any other, represented "The West" with all the implications of Buffalo Bill, Wells Fargo and the Overland Trail. It was part of the mighty pageant of continental expansion. Here you will find a great record, a grand and glorious account of crossing two-thirds of the continent in style, in comfort and in record time.
