Title: A delightfully intriguing experience!
Product review: I crave nonfiction (history & biography, usually)and this book serves up a colorful menu of interesting stories in portion sizes suited to even the busiest of readers. Choose a murder plot, a great train robbery, a curse on a city or even a love story involving a famous poet and writer. Mark McLaughlin presents fact in a fascinating format that I found most entertaining. The research behind each story is transparent as the story unwinds like a family history passed down by word of mouth on the front porch. His attention to detail regarding trains of the past and his generous supply of accompanying photographs solidify the experience of riding the rails yourself.I highly recommend this exceptionally fun book. It is one of those that after you've digested the enjoyable stories, you will be pleasantly surprised by how much you have learned about a significant segment of our country's history.
