4.0 out of 5 stars Worth It, February 22, 2003

This review is from: Shay Logging Locomotive at Cass, West Virginia, 1901-1960 (Hardcover)

Phil did a great job researching material for this book. It's worth buying. Unfortunetly, Phil passed away in Hinton, WV early February 2003 while conducting reseach for his next book.
