Book The Story of Pullman  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Story of Pullman Classic Reprint written by World'S Columbian Exposition and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Pullman At just what time Mr. Pullman first began thinking on the subject of sleeping-cars, he would himself perhaps find it difficult to tell. The problem had been raised by the comple tion of what then were considered long lines of railroad. Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York had thrown out filaments of iron for considerable distances toward the West. To get to the Ohio River at either Wheeling or Pittsburgh, or to get to Lake Erie at Dunkirk or Buffalo, involved a journey of over 400 miles. A journey of 400 miles took as much time as now does one of more than double that distance. The physical fatigue involved was greater than is now incident to a trip from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.

It seemed as if everybody at the Junction wanted something that afternoon; thread or buttons or yarn, or the home-made doughnuts which helped out the slim stock of goods in the little notion store which had once been the parlor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from G. T. T: Or, the Wonderful Adventures of a Pullman For myself I had an early interest in Texas. The first pamphlet I ever published - and that, I see, was a generation ago - was an appeal to New England men and women to emigrate to Texas. It was printed in the month of March, 1845. I had heard at Washington, that winter, most of the great debates in which the annexa tion of Texas, and so much more of the later history of the country, were decided on. I re turned to Massachusetts, convinced that the simplest solution of the southern question was in a vigorous and large emigration of northern men into that New Empire, to whose fortunes ours had been linked by the resolutions of annex ation. And so Iwrote and published the little pamphlet of which I speak, under the title How to conquer Texas before Texas conquers us. It was an eager appeal for emigration. At that time I should have been glad to join any colony which would have tried that adventure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Railroad Strike of 1894

Download or read book The Railroad Strike of 1894 written by W. J. Ashley and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railroad Strike of 1894: The Statements of the Pullman Company and the Report of the Commission, Together With an Analysis of the Issues The main purpose of the Church Social Union is to stimulate and assist careful study of the present industrial situation. It is fitting, therefore, that it should begin its new season of work by inviting its members to give their quiet and impartial attention to the main facts in the history of the greatest industrial struggle yet seen in this country, - the Chicago strike of last year, - and to ponder soberly the principles involved. For this purpose, there are herewith put into the hands of each of the members, the Report of the U. S. Strike Commission and Mr. Pullman's Statement. Whatever criticism may be called for by either of these documents, it is evident that they are each of them at least deserving of consideration. The U. S. Strike Commission had exceptional means of arriving at an accurate knowledge of the facts of the case; and the reputation of its chairman, the Hon. Carroll D. Wright, as a statistician and economic investigator, is so high in America and Europe that his judgment as to the facts must be listened to with respect. Mr. Pullman is an extremely able and successful business man, and the statement he has put forward has undoubtedly been prepared with the aid of the most skilful advisers attainable. To assist the members of the C. S. U. to arrive at some conclusions concerning the mass of contentions now put before them, the Committee venture to lay before them certain notes and memoranda. They would urge their members, however, before going further, first to read rapidly through both the accompanying documents. Each, in its different way, is so forcible that members who have scanty leisure, having read one, will possibly think that there is nothing more to be said, and that it is hardly worth while to read the other. For the purpose, however, which this Society has at heart, it is of the utmost importance that whichever may chance to have been read first, the other should then be read also. And members are urged not to content themselves with newspaper summaries, but to read both right through. Having done this, they will be in a position to go over the subject once more, more critically; and for this purpose they may find it useful to follow the lines of thought here laid down. It need hardly be said that if this publication is taken up and glanced through, put down and forgotten, as we read newspapers, it will be useless. It is hoped that members will keep it by them, and recur to it again and again for quiet and sustained consideration.

Book The Cars of Pullman

Download or read book The Cars of Pullman written by Joe Welsh and published by Crestline Books. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's greatest business enterprises, the Pullman Company provided outstanding service aboard a vast fleet of railroad passenger cars that could be found in almost every nook and cranny of the United States. This illustrated history examines Pullman's diverse fleet, from its spectacular custom-built wooden cars of the nineteenth century to steel heavyweight cars in the prewar years and on into the lightweight streamlined era. Pullman cars are a tribute to a hard-working generation of men and women who worked to bring the coasts of the United States together efficiently and in style. Author Joe Welsh includes period photos, many in rare color, as well as car diagrams and ads that help trace the development, composition, and evolution of the historically and culturally significant Pullman fleet, including the gamut of sleeper, parlor, and restaurant cars. Take an interesting look into the time period that relied on train cars, as well as the classic style of the cars themselves. This is a fitting tribute to the former cultural icons aboard which strode giants of American life, such as Babe Ruth and Clark Gable, as well as first-time travelers from small-town America.
