Held for Orders Tales of Railroad Life

Originally published in the early 1900's, "Held For Orders" is one volume of a 2 volume set of Frank Spearman's most popular railroad fiction. It is the companion to his other book of RR short stories- "Nerve of Foley". Set in the western Rockies, both books contain short stories about the same characters. Spearman has been called the "Dean of Railroad Fiction Writers". Realistic, gritty, and entertaining. If you are interested in railroad history, you will enjoy reading both books, over and over.
