Sobre IBD

The War of the Standards is a historical novel written by Albion Winegar Tourgee and published in 1896. The book is set in the United States during the late 19th century and revolves around the conflict between two rival railroad companies, each using a different gauge of track. The story follows the characters as they navigate the political and economic landscape of the time, with tensions rising as the two companies compete for dominance. Along the way, the novel also touches on themes of corruption, greed, and the struggle for power. Despite being a work of fiction, The War of the Standards is based on real historical events and offers a vivid portrayal of life in America during this pivotal era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
