In Minneapolis and the Age of Railways, Don L. Hofsommer presents Minneapolis from the 1860s into the 1950s, when railroads served as a unique link between city and countryside. Illustrated with more than 200 period photographs and maps, this remarkable book reflects a time when the locomotive dominated the landscape and set the tempo for the nation-the age of railways
