Written by this outstanding investigative journalist this is more enthralling than a detective story, set against the sweeping narrative of the social climate of what we know now as the Age of Optimism - the last three decades of the 19th C when all things were possible and miracles of science and engineering were facts of every-day life. A marvellous study of Americana in all its aspects and a tribute to what made America great.
