About This Item

London: Faber & Faber, 2003. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white illustrations, map, minor edgewear. 244 pp. Plots the 8-year struggle to build the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, plus the accident that plagued the opening of the world's first passenger railway, which killed statesman William Huskisson. The railway was the greatest engineering feat of its age. George and Robert Stevenson's "Rocket" became the most famous locomotive in history. Huskisson was one of the greatest statesmen of his generation but also accident prone. On 15th September 1830, his accident, in which the "Rocket" crushed his leg and thigh, is an unforgettable image of the Industrial Revolution.
