Harles J. Bonaparte and railroads in a bustling era
The article surveys Harles J. Bonaparte as Harvard bound and commenting on anarchist punishment, then shifts to Joseph Ramsey Jr planning a New York to Chicago electric locomotive trunk line, Ramsey’s clash with Gould, and a vivid anecdote of the repairman elevated to general superintendent of the Wabash. It also covers Governor Pennypacker thwarting a mistaken arrest, banker Stenshind’s rise and fall, Archduke Karl Franz Josef’s succession odds, and socialite Batonyi’s high society marriage ties with the Four Hundred, highlighting racing horsemen and prominent figures of the era.
