Book Two of Charles Hartley's work on the 1917 Train Wreck is now available. Book One was published last October as part of our 90th anniversary memorial work on that most deadly wreck in L&N Railroad history that took place in Shepherdsville December 20, 1917.
Charles has now followed up that very popular first book with a second one. The first book has now been slightly repackaged as The Train Wreck and includes a few pages of new information (if you have the first edition of that book, you can get the added information on our museum web site here).
The new Book Two, The People of the Wreck, adds 92 pages of information and photos to the story of the people killed or otherwise affected by the tragic wreck. It is really a touching and informative work.
Pricing for the books will be $6 per book or $10 per two-volume set, if bought directly at the museum. If mailed, there will be a $2 shipping and handling fee per book. Once again, Charles has donated the work to the museum, so all profits beyond printing costs go directly to the museum.
