Railway Ties 1888-1920 - by Elizabeth Waterston
A compelling work of historical fiction that focuses on two generations of a "railway family", that tie in with the early rivalry between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways, and also with the technological and operational changes in the whole railway industry during and immediately after World War I.
Railway Ties conveys a clear sense of a future-defining period in Canada, the years that saw the growth of rail travel in this country, marked by possibility, adventure, and individual sacrifice.
Carefully researched from railway and family archives, Railway Ties presents over 200 original images.
Elizabeth Waterston, a celebrated academic and creative writer, blends historical accuracy with lively style to make this book a page turner.
Available from Rock's Mills Press, or order through your local bookstore.
