ow way over the mountains and plains, over trails in every
turn of which lurked danger and death. "Verily the sun do move." During
my service with the Pullman company I have traveled from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to the borders of Canada, over
nearly all the many different lines of railroad that makes the map of
North America look like a spider had been crawling over it in search of
a fly. I have visited all the principal cities and towns where the sound
of the bell and the whistle is heard, and I have in a great measure

over which I have traveled are the Union Pacific, whose overland

some of the finest scenery in the Rocky Mountains, including the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, a mile deep, thirteen miles wide, two hundred and
seventeen miles long and painted like a flower. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad to Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, from whose car windows
one may view the world-famous
