Fascinating biography of Arthur E. Stilwell, an inveterate railroad promoter who, with Kansas City as his base, promoted several railroads in the hopes of creating an economic empire. Among the railroads that bore his imprint were the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad, the Kansas City Southern, the Kansas City Suburban Belt, and the Kansas City Mexico and Orient Railroad. After his railroad ventures failed, he had a second career as an author and promoter of psychic powers. The book provides an excellent guide to the economic development of the south central United States (Stilwell named Port Arthur, Texas after himself) and should be useful the region's historians. Illustrated with black and white photos. 256 pages with index.

In 1859, Cyrus K. Holliday envisioned a railroad that would run from Kansas to the Pacific, increasing the commerce and prosperity of the nation. With farsighted investors and shrewd management, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad grew from Holliday's idea into a model of the modern, rapid, and efficient railroad. There were many growing pains. Rustlers, thieves, and desperadoes were as thick as the cattle in Kansas when the first rails were laid. When a conductor, toting a pistol, asked a grizzled prospector where he was heading, the old man replied, "Hell." "That's 65¢ and get off at Dodge," the weary conductor declared. Once built with rails from Wales laid on ties of oak and walnut, the railroad survived the economic and climatic hardships of the late nineteenth century, and eventually extended from Chicago to San Francisco, with over 12,000 miles of track and substantial holdings in oil fields, timber land, uranium mines, pipe lines, and real estate.
