YOUNG HEROES OF WIRE AND RAIL
By ALVAH MILTON KERR Illustrated 12mo Cloth $1.25
THE place which the sea once held in supplying thrilling tales of heroism and peril is now being largely usurped by that powerful agent of progress, the railway service, and with no lessening of interest. It is also very attractive to know how those who bear the vast responsibilities of this service perform their work and meet the fearful emergencies that may arise at any time.
“The tone of the work is healthful and inspiring.”—Boston Herald.
“They are calculated to inspire boys to become manly, and incidentally they contain considerable valuable information.”—Newark News.
“An ideal book for a young boy is ‘Young Heroes of Wire and Rail.’”—Episcopal Recorder, Philadelphia.
