His Personal Record: Stories Of Railroad Life is a collection of short stories written by William John Pinkerton. The book focuses on the author's personal experiences working on the railroad, and offers readers a glimpse into the unique and often dangerous world of railroad workers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from the everyday challenges of working on the tracks to the more dramatic events that occurred during Pinkerton's time on the job, including train wrecks, robberies, and other incidents. Through these stories, Pinkerton provides readers with a fascinating look at a bygone era of American history and the people who helped build the country's transportation infrastructure. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the railroad industry, as well as those who enjoy exciting and engaging stories of adventure and danger.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
