Home on the Railsfills a considerable void in the history of trains and travel. Fresh material and a crisp writing style make for a useful and delightful book.-H. Roger Grant, Clemson University, A work that is intellectually rich, amply documented and contains enough social history on the conditions of rail cars, behaviors of passengers, and Americans' love of travel to merit it a place alongside more traditional historiography on American railroads. -- Journal of Transport History, A stylish, original and entertaining interpretation of the domestication and commodification of public life on the rails at the end of the nineteenth century.

Synopsis
Recognizing the railroad's importance as both symbol and experience in Victorian America, Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto trains and considers the consequences of their presence there.For a time, Richter argues, nineteenth-century Americans imagined the public realm as a chaotic and dangerous place full of potential, where various groups came together, collided, and influenced one another, for better or worse. The example of the American railroad reveals how, by the beginning of the twentieth century, this image was replaced by one of a domesticated public realm -- a public space in which both women and men increasingly strove to make themselves "at home."Through efforts that ranged from the homey touches of railroad car décor to advertising images celebrating female travelers and legal cases sanctioning gender-segregated spaces, travelers and railroad companies transformed the railroad from a place of risk and almost unlimited social mixing into one in which white men and women alleviated the stress of unpleasant social contact. Making themselves "at home" aboard the trains, white men and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space that freed women from the home yet still preserved the railroad as a masculine domain., Recognizing the railroad's importance as both symbol and experience in Victorian America, Amy G.
