The Internet of Its Day

Sincerelyornot of Oregon, 10/18/2011

The railroad was the internet of its day. Trains changed almost as much as the web, starting with, or rather, ending, the Oregon Trail. This is a story of hope and dreams brought to life by then-cutting-edge technology, one of my favorites from the "Dear America" series.
