The only major U.S. railroad to be operated by westerners and the only railroad built from west to east, the Southern Pacific acquired a unique history and character. It also acquired a reputation, especially in California, as a railroad that people loved to hate. This magisterial history tells the full story of the Southern Pacific for the first time, shattering myths about the company that have prevailed to this day. A landmark account, Sunset Limited explores the railroad’s development and influence-especially as it affected land settlement, agriculture, water policy, and the environment-and offers a new perspective on the tremendous, often surprising, role the company played in shaping the American West.

The 1950s were the heyday of the Clyde pleasure-steamer, when hordes of ordinary folk went ‘doon the watter’ to Dunoon, Largs and Millport to the strains of accordian and fiddle. Others went with suitcases to Rothesay for the Fair, while the well-to-do filled brass-bound trunks and headed for the boarding houses of Brodick and Whiting Bay. The resort piers were hives of activity and the crack was good as the steamers’ arrival heralded the main talking point of the day. Duncan Graham’s frequently hilarious memoir of his days as a student purser aboard The Talisman, Prince Edward and the Caledonia is filled with larger-than-life characters including dashing skippers who raced for the best berths, frustrated Chief Engineers, wheeler-dealer stewards and ladies with more than a mere day trip on their mind! In this new revised paperback edition of Graham’s best-selling memoir, the last days of steaming on the Clyde are recounted as they really were.
