About This Item
Honesdale, PA, Citizen Print. 1905. Second edition as stated on title page. Original light green wrappers about fine with just a hint of darkening in a few places. This little 22 page booklet relates the history of the Stourbridge Lion, the first Locomotive to turn a wheel on the western hemisphere. The title page states this is a compilation of authorities proving the claim. There is also a biographical sketch of Horatio Allen, the first engineer in America. Obviously with the "citizen print" on the title page this was a very limited publication. Illustrated with photographs. Scarce.
