5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating Northwest railway history,
By Sonicare Moldy 7300 (WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Everett & Monte Cristo Railway (Hardcover)
A well-written history, with copious use of photos, about a troubled, audacious railway hacked through a river canyon & miles of timber to reach a hoped-for Mother Lode high up in the rugged Cascade Mtns NE of Seattle-- called Monte Cristo. The dreams of most prospectors never panned out, including one of the key investors back East, John. D. Rockefeller. Ultimately the mines and railway failed, but not before much colorful history occured over the 40 or so years of the railway's existence. One co-author, Phil Woodhouse, wrote an earlier work about the mines & railroad titled "Monte Cristo"--an excellent history. The present work adds new information uncovered over the years since "Monte Cristo's" 1979 (1996 update) publication, as well as many photos (some never published before) of the railway. A very handsome coffee-table size addition to any railroad/mining/historical buff's library.

The Everett & Monte Cristo Railway,
By Lorraine Pedersen (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Everett & Monte Cristo Railway (Hardcover)
We are pleased with the purchase although we were expecting a hardback book for the price. We must have missed something when ordering that stated it was a soft cover book. The seller did offer a refund when we inquired about it but we decided to keep the book. The book is in very good condition and was signed by the authors. We would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in trains and the history of the Everett, Snohomish and Monte Cristo area. And we would recommend the sellers.
