"A very well put-together book!" according to Amazon Customer. Heart-warming and written in every-day language. I love reading real stories of real people who have lived before us. This author did a good job recalling childhood stories and writing them in a very readable way. I learned a lot of things I never knew before. There are also many foot notes that explain things, events, and terms I had never heard before.. Kindle Customer said Well written book!. I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting reading about growing up during this time period.. Two Stars OZ Has Spoken! Very little railroad information or history, mostly family life.
