This richly comprehensive history by a self-proclaimed "low-brow" historian features more than 100 photographs and contemporary prints of America's railway system. Stewart H. Holbrook presents a dramatic, highly readable chronicle of the development of the backbone of the country's commerce and industry. Abounding in episodes of ingenuity and achievement, the growth of the railway system required constant improvements in techniques, devices, and machines, from the first wood burner that traveled on wooden rails to modern streamliners and diesel-powered giants.
In addition to technological innovations, the colossal enterprise required courage and resolve to battle challenges posed by nature as well as by political maneuvering and corruption. This fascinating survey draws upon many hitherto unknown original sources and new data, in addition to firsthand accounts from hundreds of brakemen, conductors, engineers, and other railroad employees. Sound and authoritative, it constitutes a definitive history of America's railroads.

Perfect organizer
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer, Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This organizer is cute and compact but has a place for every type of jewelry which is what I was looking for. Its not bulky and i love how the two inner sections pull away to reveal a pretty large storage section for larger or micellaneous items. Would recommend.

Large and Conveniently Versatile
Color: Black, Size: Extra Large
This isn't quite what I was expecting but it is amazing. It is larger, sturdier, and heavier than what I expected. I emptied 4 other large decorative boxes of jewelry and relocated them into this. I cannot believe what it holds. The variety of drawer designes are perfect. There are ideal spaces for my chunky necklaces and bracelets. The side hooks are perfect for a multitude of light necklaces and chains. Love the top tray for a gazillion stud earrings. For the first time I have one location for my jewelry where I can actually see what is there without digging. It is a little too big for my dresser but the convenience is worth it. I got the black because it was the least expensive. It is a classy look. The color and design would suit a guy with lots of watches and bling or a gal with a variety of styles of jewely from chunky to light filigree. It is heavy even before loading it with jewelry. The drawers can easily be reconfigured with convenient criss cross dividers. All are nicely, lightly lined. It arrived well packaged with corner protectors. There was a bit of a smell but it was gone after airing it overnight in the bathroom.

Classic and roomy jewelry box in black
Color: Black, Size: Extra Large
This jewelry box exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy, yet classic, and well organized; it sits nicely on top of a dresser. The compartments provide a lot of room for small to larger pieces, with plenty of hooks for necklaces and a variety of layouts in the drawers. The pulls are small enough so as not to overwhelm, yet clearly well thought out in design and use. I really recommend this jewelry box!
