Quastler, I.E. (Author)
Around the turn of the Twentieth Century, a photographer in small town Horton, Kansas, began to take pictures of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. Although self taught in photography, Jules A. Bourquin soon was recording impressive (and rare) images or locomotives, trains, railroaders, and railroad facilities in and near his home town. Most of these pictures were saved for posterity by Everett L. DeGolyer, Jr., who deposited them in what became the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. This book presents a cross section of some of Bourquin's best railroad pictures, accompanied by detailed captions. These images give beautiful and fascinating insights into the world of railroads and railroaders approximately one hundred years ago. (Amazon)
