The history of the first locomotives in America : from the original documents, and the testimony of living witnesses
A documentary history of early American railroading, compiled by William H. Brown from original papers and interviews with surviving witnesses, published by D. Appleton in New York in 1874 for railway men and general readers. Wood-engraved side elevations show early locomotives and passenger cars in flat profile: spoked wheels, stacks, boilers, linework shading, and lettered carriage panels usable as mechanical silhouettes and period signage.
