The Midland Railway: Its Rise and Progress : A Narrative of Modern Enterprise

Omtale

Frederick Smeeton Williams (1829–86) was a Congregational minister and pioneering railway historian. This book, first published in 1876, is a lively historical account of the Midland Railway's early development, particularly valuable for its contemporary description of the building of the notoriously difficult but beautifully scenic Settle and Carlisle line.
