Reviews
"I've long thought it unlikely that anyone would produce a full history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, as the topic was simply too vast. Happily, I've been proven wrong. Albert Churella has captured the PRR's multifaceted history with a combination of deep original research in primary sources and attention to the best contemporary scholarship, blending close attention to internal developments and personalities with an equally rich account of external social, political, and technological realities. A truly landmark publication."--Christopher T. Baer, Hagley Museum and Library, Finally, we have a meticulously researched, sensibly crafted, and beautifully written history of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In this first volume Albert Churella traces the 'Pennsy' from its gestation to the outbreak of World War I, leaving a forthcoming study to explore the decline and death of this great American enterprise. Churella provides a feel for the railroad, and he always considers the broader historical context. This book will become the standard history of the 'Standard Railroad of the World.', "Mining a treasure trove of archival material, Albert Churella has produced a monumental history of a singularly important institution. This work will be an invaluable resource, not only for railroad historians and those interested in the Pennsylvania Railroad and the regions it served. But for all students of American industrial history."-Steven W.

This quilt is historic and thousands have reproduced it or attempted to reproduce it. It is a treasure and the book is essential to make each of the 169 blocks in the center along with the triangle edging. This is not a quick or easy quilt but one you work a little at a time. It arrived as new and will be one of the highlights of my home creative library.
