| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the 1800s, rail passenger travel was a common yet perilous form of worldwide transportation. Lack of technology, windy weather and the Civil War are just a few of the factors that contributed to casualties in train wrecks of the 1800s. This book looks at the common reasons trains crashed in the 1800s, as well as some of the most deadly incidents. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
