Written by Edwin C. Washburn, this work offers a unique perspective on the industrial transformation of the United States, tracing the career of Engine No. 17 as it traverses the expanding landscapes of the West.Combining historical insight with a storyteller's flair, the book explores the technical marvels and human labor that defined the railroad industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
