This richly comprehensive history by a self-proclaimed "low-brow" historian features more than 100 photographs and contemporary prints of America's railway system. Stewart H. Holbrook presents a dramatic, highly readable chronicle of the development of the backbone of the country's commerce and industry. Abounding in episodes of ingenuity and achievement, the growth of the railway system required constant improvements in techniques, devices, and machines, from the first wood burner that traveled on wooden rails to modern streamliners and diesel-powered giants.
In addition to technological innovations, the colossal enterprise required courage and resolve to battle challenges posed by nature as well as by political maneuvering and corruption. This fascinating survey draws upon many hitherto unknown original sources and new data, in addition to firsthand accounts from hundreds of brakemen, conductors, engineers, and other railroad employees. Sound and authoritative, it constitutes a definitive history of America's railroads.

Gentle, refreshing, and doesn’t dry my skin out!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s great for everyday use, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. The texture is smooth, it rinses off easily, and the scent is light and pleasant. I’ve noticed my skin looks clearer and more even since I started using it. Definitely a great option if you want something simple, gentle, and effective for daily cleansing!

Gentle Fragrance free Non-greasy Gel Cleanser
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this for my two teenage sons. I tend to lean towards more natural products. It's challenging to find affordable effective products that not loaded with all the additives and chemicals. While all the ingredients may not be completely "all natural" it is gentle and effective. My oldest has been using this for about 6 months and has had great results so far. He has already went through an entire bottle and asked for more. It does help keep his face well balanced and his break outs under control. It is a fragrance-free non greasy gel cleanser with a thin consistency. I got a good discount by purchasing two which is a great value for this product since it is already a decent price for what you get. My family also uses the Thayers witch hazel, milky cleanser, and milky toner and they are all great. We have some sensitive skin types in our family and Thayers does well with sensitive skin types including this Ph balancing cleanser.

Best Facewash
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite face wash ever. No harsh smells or 'chemically' feel. Creates a nice bit of suds and leaves your skin feeling soft and really clean. Compared to other face washes, it is not too expensive for a great product.
