A very interesting book of narrow gauge railroads in the
West. This “Chronicle of the Narrow Gauges” is written by Frederic Shaw,
Clement Fisher, Jr., and George H. Harlan. The introduction is written by
Lucius Beebe, decoration by E.S. Hammack and maps and lettering by Frederic
Shaw. Covered are: The Nevada County Narrow Gauge RR, The Lake Tahoe Railway
& Navigation Co., The North Pacific Coast RR, The Sumpter Valley RR, The
South Pacific Coast RR, The Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co., The Pacific
Coast Railway, and the Pajaro Valley Consolidated RR.
Included is a separate one page Supplement signed by Frederic Shaw. A number of maps, some photographs and lots of stories make this a good read and a find for the collector of railroad books and the lover of history.
First Edition. Bay Books Limited. 1949.
I've selected a couple of shipping options. I
only ship priority due to the tracking and insurance included. Be sure to check
out my other auctions as I love to combine shipping. I also refund any shipping
overage if eBay overcharges or I can box it smaller, etc. Thanks for looking
and have a great day!
Through the winter, I will be listing many of
the railroad books collected by my father, author Harvey Huston. Please check
my other items to see all of the books for sale. I have tried to represent each
book as best I can, but if you have specific questions, please email before you
purchase.
Harvey Huston, was the author of Thunder Lake
Narrow Gauge and The Roddis Line, both covering Wisconsin logging railroads. My
daughter is selling new copies of them on eBay, along with maps taken from
their inside covers. We would be happy to combine them with your purchase.
