Book Reviews of Those Pullman Blues
Book Review: Real people, real stories
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for the dedicated rail fan - real stories about real people, the good, the bad and the ugly stories of working as a porter or meal service person on the trains.
Summary of Those Pullman Blues
The first oral history centering on the unique experiences of black porters and railroad attendants during the railroad's heyday is by turns dramatic, inspiring, comic, and heartwrenching. First person accounts document both the glamour of the railroad era and the bitter realities of being a black worker on a white railroad.African Americans Books
