BOOKS BY CY WARMAN.Snow on the Headlight.A Story of the Great Burlington Strike. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.“Mr. Warman holds a unique position among our tellers of tales, since he alone is a practical railroad man, who knows the work, and has done it, in all its details.”—New York Mail and Express.“Plenty of close-range photographs, interior views, of the great Burlington strike are to be found in Cy Warman’s book.”—Philadelphia Times.“It has the great virtue of being a plain story plainly told by one who knows. Whatever other impression it may convey to the reader, it conveys most strongly the impression of truth. And this plain truth, told in a plain way, is a terrible thing. One can feel all the way through that half the tale—and perhaps the worst half—is left untold, yet such as stands in print is sufficient, and to the reader who cares for something more than the superficial adventurous incident of the book it will not be without its instructive influence.”—Denver Republican.“Told with all the freshness and vividness of an eyewitness.”—Philadelphia Call.“Will be read with interest by all railroad men.”—Galesburg (Ill.) Mail.The Story of the Railroad.Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.“Far more interesting than the average novel.... Mr. Warman’s volume makes us hear and feel the rush of modern civilization. It gives us also the human side of the picture—the struggles of the frontiersman and his family, the dismay and cruel wrath of the retreating savage, the heroism of the advance guard of the railway builders, and the cutthroat struggles of competing lines. He does not deal greatly with statistics, but the figures he uses help make up the stunning effect of gigantic enterprise. There is not a dull page in the book.”—New York Evening Post.“Intensely interesting—a history that reads like a romance, and compared with whose marvelous story indeed most modern romances will seem spiritless and tame.”—Charleston News and Courier.“Worthy to stand on the same shelf with Hough’s Story of the Cowboy.”—Milwaukee Journal.
