Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xi. human nature on the rail. If the porst who wrote "The proper study of mankind is man," had been a conductor he might have indulged in that study to his heart's content. Perhaps no other place furnishes a better opportunity than the train does for the study of human nature. No one has a better chance to learn the peculiarities of mankind than the conductor, going backward and forward as he does through the train and passing his days thus from one year's end to the other. The mask that is worn so successfully in church and society is dropped before him without reserve. All kinds of people are to be found traveling on the rail. There is the man who acts as if the rest of the world, and especially all railroad officials, were in league against him. "This is a free country, and I'm in for all the law allows," he says. So he puts his valise in the seat beside him to prevent anyone from sitting next to him, opens the window without regard to the feeble woman back of him, or the sick child across the aisle, and then spits tobacco juice all over the floor. This is the man who always rides on a pass when he can get it by hook or crook, or resorts to scalpers for tickets when passes give out, or is determined to use a limited ticket long after the time of limitation has expired. It is against his principles to pay a good, honest fare. "There's nothing like cheek, in this world," he remarks, when giving advice to a traveler not so endowed with this article as himself. "There is nothing like cheek, and if a thing's to be got by it, why I'm there every time. When I put on my coat in the morning I put on my gall with it, and I tell you I never get left." Once in a while the selfish passenger gets a fitting rebuke, as the following story...

Download or read book Home on the Rails written by Amy G. Richter and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the railroad's importance as both symbol and experience in Victorian America, Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto trains and considers the consequences of their presence there. For a time, Richter argues, nineteenth-century Americans imagined the public realm as a chaotic and dangerous place full of potential, where various groups came together, collided, and influenced one another, for better or worse. The example of the American railroad reveals how, by the beginning of the twentieth century, this image was replaced by one of a domesticated public realm--a public space in which both women and men increasingly strove to make themselves "at home." Through efforts that ranged from the homey touches of railroad car decor to advertising images celebrating female travelers and legal cases sanctioning gender-segregated spaces, travelers and railroad companies transformed the railroad from a place of risk and almost unlimited social mixing into one in which white men and women alleviated the stress of unpleasant social contact. Making themselves "at home" aboard the trains, white men and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space that freed women from the home yet still preserved the railroad as a masculine domain.
