Ken H. reviewed CONQUEST AND CATASTROPHE: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Great Northern Railway Through Stevens Pass on
Anyone interested in Northwest history as well as railroading will find this book an incredible read. There is so much information and yet the book reads like a fast-paced novel; especially the account of the great Wellington avalanche disaster of 1910. There is so much packed into this book. Anyone interested in history and railroads will greatly enjoy this work.
