Book Synopsis Dogs of the Railways by : Jill Lenk Schilp

Download or read book Dogs of the Railways written by Jill Lenk Schilp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the vagabond canines that hopped on railroads across the United States, often becoming celebrities and national heroes. Chapters introduce canines like Owney, guardian of the railway mail service; Fala, FDR's beloved dog and train-companion; Annie, the Colorado railway ambassador; the K9 patrols who watch over the tracks; and many more. As railroads were changing America, these raildogs were changing the people who lived and worked in rail communities. For the dogs of the railways, home became the hearts of the people of the railroad. More than the dogs themselves, this book is about the human-animal relationship between a dog and a community and moments in history where that relationship symbolized the quest for home and belonging, a search that humans often share with our canine travelers.

Book Synopsis The Railwaymen by : Philip S. Bagwell

Download or read book The Railwaymen written by Philip S. Bagwell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1963, The Railwaymen recounts the struggle of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants from its foundation in 1872 until the first national railway strike in 1911 to gain recognition from the companies and a reduction in the excessive hours of labour and the scandalously high accident rate among railwaymen. Two chapters recall the decisive role of the union, through the Taff Vale and Osborne cases in shaping the modern labour movement. Founded through the merging of three unions in 1913, the NUR crossed swords with Lloyd George in the railway strike of 1919 and with Baldwin and Churchill in the general strike. It led the railwaymen through two world wars, helped shape the transport act of 1947 and, after 1951, thought for the re-establishment of an adequate system of public transport.

Book Synopsis The Railway Police by : Nigel Wier

Download or read book The Railway Police written by Nigel Wier and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about the railway police and most readers probably do not realise that it is the oldest police force in the United Kingdom and it can be traced back in history to 1826. I am no doubt that some historians of the Metropolitan Police will disagree. The book will follow the railway police through its history up until the present day and it will give you a flavour of what they are all about and of course what work they get involved in. I think some of you will be very surprised at what they actually do. I have written this book because I feel that they do not get the credit they deserve and are overlooked somewhat and I hope that after you have read this book you will agree with me that we do need the railway police as much as we need any other police.
