Book Description
Excerpt from President Roosevelt's Railroad Policy: Report of a Discussion Before the Economic Club of Boston, March 9, 1905 It is said that railroad stocks were low in 1897, and they were. They were in 1901. Since 1901 Northern Securities stock has advanced $60 to $65 per share. That means a further advance in the market value of the capital stock of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern of over - money enough, once more, to construct those two railroads from the head of Lake Superior to the Pacific Coast.

Book Description
The April 1945 journey of FDR's funeral train became a thousand-mile odyssey, fraught with heartbreak and scandal. As it passed through the night, few of the grieving onlookers gave thought to what might be happening behind the Pullman shades, where women whispered and men tossed back highballs. Inside was a Soviet spy, a newly widowed Eleanor Roosevelt, who had just discovered that her husband's mistress was in the room with him when he died, all the Supreme Court justices, and incoming president Harry S. Truman who was scrambling to learn secrets FDR had never shared with him. Weaving together information from long-forgotten diaries and declassified Secret Service documents, journalist and historian Robert Klara enters the private world on board that famous train. He chronicles the three days during which the country grieved and despaired as never before, and a new president hammered out the policies that would galvanize a country in mourning and win the Second World War.
