Reviews
"This meticulous investigation will appeal to historians of photography, of the American West, and of railroads... Recommended." -- M. Nilsen CHOICE "Glenn Willumson's book Iron Muse is a wonderfully written account of efforts to photograph the constuction of the transcontinental railroad and promote its successes... Wonderfully illustrated, this book relies on the larger visual culture of the era and reproduces prints, paintings, and newspapers as well as the photographs themselves... Those without a stated interest in these topics will develop one because of the author's engaging writing style and compelling presentation." -- Rachel M. Sailor Winterthur Portfolio
