Inhaltsangabe

This book is for anyone interested in the history of Kansas and its railroads. In a series of 15 articles, the author tells of Kansas rail oddities such as a train robbery on the Frisco Railway in Andover, the construction of a nationally famous Rock Island Line bridge near Liberal, and the tragedy behind a grave site for six Kansas Pacific track workers near Victoria. There are stories of short lines and ghost railroads like the Scott City Northern, the St. Joseph & Topeka, and the Marion Belt & Chingawassa Springs. There's also a bibliography of the central Kansas railroad builder who became an amateur historian.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

My second science-fiction novel, "Lisa's Way," was released in 2008 by eTreasures Publishing. My first SF novel, "Expert Assistance," was published by Asylett Press in 2007. I've sold over 70 short science-fiction and fantasy stories to magazines such as Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine; Tales of the Talisman; Space Westerns; The Fifth Di...; and Sorcerous Signals. I've had two biographies of Civil-War-era Kansas leaders published by Pelican, and six railroad books published by South Platte Press. I've sold dozens of articles to periodicals such as Working Writer; Wild West; Chronicle of the Old West; and Territorial Magazine.
