Public School Memoir of a Train Trip Through Minnesota
A first person account describes a journey by rail from the Midwest, detailing crowded cars, lack of sleepers, early dawn arrivals, and views of Minneapolis Saint Paul and North Dakota. The writer notes crowded waiting rooms, a rough ride, and the challenge of berths in a modest tourist car while observing towns, bridges, mills, and farms along the route.
