Gulf to the Rockies by Richard Overton (W 17)

Noted railway historian Richard Overton produced this comprehensive history of the Fort Worth & Denver and Colorado & Southern  between 1861 and 1898. This is a study in business history in 410 pages, indexed and all sources are identified. Published by the University of Texas in 1953, this book has a torn paper jacket with lots of edge wear but the rest of the book is in very good condition. Don’t expect a lot of photos – this is a genuine history with lots of business and operational details.
