Omschrijving

""Big Dan: The Story Of A Colorful Railroader"" is a biographical account of the life and career of Dan W. Brosnan, a larger-than-life figure in the world of American railroading. Written by Frank Cunningham, a former colleague and friend of Brosnan, the book traces Brosnan's journey from his humble beginnings in rural Illinois to his rise through the ranks of the railroad industry.Brosnan was known for his size and strength, as well as his colorful personality and unorthodox approach to management. He was a tireless worker and a passionate advocate for the railroads, and his innovative ideas and leadership helped to transform the industry during a time of great change.Through interviews with Brosnan's family, friends, and colleagues, as well as archival research, Cunningham paints a vivid portrait of this remarkable man and his impact on the railroad industry. From his early days as a brakeman to his eventual rise to the position of president of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, Brosnan's story is one of determination, hard work, and a deep love for the railroad.""Big Dan"" is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of American railroading or the stories of remarkable individuals who have made a lasting impact on their industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
