Excerpt from The Railroad, Vol. 1 Try's flag. They were the soldiers of civilization, open ing a way that peace might follow. Some of them passed from reconnaissances and preliminary surveys to the work of construction, ruling armies of men in wild camps which were constantly moving onward. They were responsible for the expenditure of fortunes. Their followers knew little other law than their word, and there were times, as in the early history of the Union Pacific, when no authority seemed to avail against the recklessness of life at the head of the rails.

Cy Warman was born near Greenup, Ill. , the son of John and Nancy (Askew) Warman.
He was educated in the common schools.
For a time was a farmer and wheat broker at Pocahontas, Ill. In 1880 he went to Colorado, where he worked in the railroad yards at Salida, and was successively locomotive fireman and engineer for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. Forced by poor health to give up railroading, he went to Denver to enter journalism and in 1888 became editor of the semi-monthly paper Western Railway. In 1892 he started a paper called the Chronicle at the new silver mines of Creede, Colo. Meanwhile, both as railway worker and as journalist, he had been writing verses inspired by the grandeur of the Colorado mountains. In 1891 one of these pleasant, facile little poems, "The Canyon of the Grand, " won a prize, and in 1892 Warman published a slender volume entitled Mountain Melodies, thousands of copies of which were sold on the trains of the Denver & Rio Grande. On September 4 of that year Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, published a group of Warman's verses in his paper. One of these lyrics, "Sweet Marie, " was set to music by Raymond Moore and a million copies were sold in six months. Other popular songs followed, for which Warman sometimes wrote the airs himself. The silver boom at Creede having collapsed, Warman went to New York City in 1893 to enjoy his celebrity. About this time, seeing in McClure's Magazine a railroad story by a man who clearly did not know railroading, he offered to ride a thousand miles in a locomotive cab and give his story to the magazine free if it were not "the best ever. " He thereupon rode from New York to Chicago in the engineer's cab of a New York Central flyer and dictated the outline of his tale, "A Thousand-Mile Ride on the Engine of the Swiftest Train in the World" (McClure's Magazine, January 1894), immediately upon arrival. The resounding success of this story having opened to him the pages of periodicals both American and English, Warman now produced a long series of short stories and novels depicting the romance and adventure of the frontier and in particular of the spanning of the continent by the trail of the "iron horse. " These tales, which have the authenticity of first-hand knowledge and yet belong definitely to the romantic tradition of frontier literature, were collected in a series of volumes: Tales of an Engineer with Rhymes of the Rail (1895); The Express Messenger and Other Tales of the Rail (1897); Frontier Stories (1898); The White Mail (1899); Snow on the Headlight; A Story of the Great Burlington Strike (1899); Short Rails (1900); The Last Spike and Other Railroad Stories (1906); Weiga of Temagami and Other Indian Tales (1908). He published also a history of American railroad enterprise, The Story of the Railroad (1898), and another volume of verse, Songs of Cy Warman (1911). Warman stayed only a few months in New York. For two years he traveled in Europe and the Orient, and for two more he lived in Washington, D. C. He then built a house at London, Ont. , which was his home for the rest of his days. Warman died in a Chicago hospital.
