In "Guts, Oats, Steam, Gasoline, Diesel & Spit", take a step back in time, to the days when pioneers and their horses and machines worked the land, their tenacity only surpassed by sheer grit and muscle. A nostalgic look at the past...and the tragedies and triumphs lived by our American ancestors.
Excerpt from page 50:
"I was born too late to actually work with steam power but as a boy I spent a lot of time watching the steam locomotives on the tracks near where we lived. They were awesome to watch and listen to as they huffed and chuffed and blew their loud, shrill whistles while bumping the railroad cars into the siding just a few yards from our house...Once in awhile, we were delighted to watch a steam shovel clean ditches along the tracks and often saw a steam pile driver building bridges across the river nearby."
