OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

The Congregationalist

There is true power in Cy Warman's "Tales of an Engineer," and the reader yields willingly to the attraction of its blended novelty, spirit, and occasional pathos. It does not lack humor, and every page is worth reading.

The Churchman

A new departure in literature should be interesting even if lacking in the brilliant off-hand sketchiness of these pages. One steps into a new life. There is not a dull page in this book, and much of it is of more than ordinary interest.

New York Commercial Advertiser

There is a rugged directness about the description of rushing runs on the rail, through which one can hear the thump-thump of the machinery as the engine dashes over the rails, and which seems to be illumined by the glow of the headlights and the colored signals.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
