Ken Burns' The Age Of the Iron Horse
Narrator: "The Golden Age of railroads was
initiated by a few brilliant inventors, fueled
by the labor of the poor and disenfranchised, was
given impetus by the graft of corrupt politicians,
culminated in the triumph of greedy railroad barons,
and ended in millions asking just why the hell the
damn trains never can run on time."
THE END
Star, don'tcha just love that graphic with the Indians attacking the railroad? — Ha! :)I swear, if my UPDATES AND CONTENTS section wasn't already too long the way it is, I would post that image up there permanantly!
😆
Yeah, sadly enough. :(Well, they've got the casinos now. All is well in the world. 🙂
I do love it! Reminds me of Don Quixote and his windmills.:D
