"'Follow the Flag' offers the first authoritative history of the Wabash Railroad Company, a once vital interregional carrier. This book provides more than traditional business history. The noted transportation historian H. Roger Grant captures the human side of the Wabash, ranging from the medical doctors who created an effective hospital department to the worker-sponsored social events. And Grant has not ignored the impact the Wabash had on businesses and communities in the 'heart of America'"--Page [4] of cover.
