From "The Lancaster Chronicle," Lancaster, NH....... Charles Jordan editor
"The book is peppered with photographs, many from Hively's personal collection,
that give a sense of vivid texture to his memories.
It is a collection of anecdotes, romanticizing the unforgiving and often grueling work
sustained by those employed on the unique railroad."
