Bon vivant, railroad historian, photographer, pioneering food critic, chronicler of New York’s café society, and noted newspaperman, Lucius Beebe (1902–1966) was an American original. In 1938, with the publication of High Iron: A Book of Trains, he transformed the world of railroad-subject photography forever by inventing the railroad picture book genre. In 1940, he met creative and life partner Charles Clegg (1916–1979), also a talented photographer. Beebe and Clegg produced an outstanding and diverse portfolio of mid-twentieth century railroad-subject photographs. Beebe, sometimes with Clegg, also authored about forty books, including many focused on railroads and railroading. The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg brings their incredible story and best photographic work together. Providing an extensive biographic introduction to Beebe and Clegg, author Tony Reevy presents a multi-faceted view of the railroad industry that will appeal to rail enthusiasts as well as those interested in American food culture, the history of New York City, and LGBT studies. The Railroad Photography of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg is an indispensable history to the work of two men who forever changed the way we see and experience American railroads.

Before the widespread popularity of automobiles, buses, and trucks, freight and passenger trains bound the nation together. The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience explores the role of local frontline workers that kept the country's vast rail network running. Virtually every community with a railroad connection had a depot and an agent. These men and occasionally women became the official representatives of their companies and were highly respected. They met the public when they sold tickets, planned travel itineraries, and reported freight and express shipments. Additionally, their first-hand knowledge of Morse code made them the most informed in town. But as times changed, so did the role of, and the need for, the station agent. Beautifully illustrated with dozens of vintage photographs, The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience, brings back to life the day-to-day experience of the station agent and captures the evolution of railroad operations as technology advanced.

Within these pages lies the story of an enterprising area of east central Georgia, carved from the piney woods some 200 years ago. Screven and Jenkins Counties boast an eventful history, filled with tales of early American settlers in times of peace and times of war. These two counties have endured hardships but have maintained a community of hard-working and dedicated residents. Home to Native Americans in the early 1700s, Screven and Jenkins Counties were slowly settled in the latter half of the eighteenth century. While most of the settlers came from the Carolinas, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, a small German settlement sprang up as well, and descendents of these families can still be found in the area today. Included in this collection of vintage images are the early pioneers who shaped the community, the railroads that contributed to its growth, the wars that claimed the lives of its people, and the schools and churches that provided foundations for its children. From the banks of the lazy Ogeechee River to the preacher who cursed the town, and from the hamlets that formed along the Central of Georgia Railway to the fast-paced life of the twentieth century, Screven and Jenkins Counties is a visual reminder of the indelible marks left by each generation and is sure to be treasured by readers of all ages.
