The Last Spike And Other Railroad Stories (Esprios Classics)

Cy Warman (June 22, 1855 - April 7, 1914) was an American journalist and author known during his life by the appellation "The Poet Laureate of the Rockies". In 1888, Mr. Warman became editor of the publication Western Railway. He sold his interest in Western Railway in March 1892 and relocated to Creede, Colorado at the height of the Creede mining boom. There, he founded the Creede Daily Chronicle. Warman achieved national recognition in 1892 when, after riding from New York City to Chicago in the cab of the locomotive The Exposition Flyer, he wrote his first railroad story, "A Thousand Miles in a Night" for McClure's Magazine. This was the first of a series of widely popular "True Tales of the Railroad" articles written for McClure's.
