Although the book is structured around the life of an early electric street railway pioneer, Arthur Wellington Adams, it ranges broadly into the development of such lines across the country as men of varied backgrounds and degrees of expertise, struggled to build -- often in the face on intense opposition, the new streetcars and interurban lines. Among those discussed are Leo Daft, Charles Van Depoele and Frank Sprague.
