TITLE: CHESSIE THE RAILROAD KITTEN AUTHOR: Thomas W. Dixon Jr. PUBLICATION DATE: 1988; 6th printing, 1994 FORMAT: Large 11 x 8 1/2" 64-page softcover book, beautifully illustrated throughout with photographs and artwork in both color and black and white. CONDITION: Excellent - like new From the review: Thomas Dixon has written a fantastic book on how Chessie became the representative of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR!! Page after page of gorgeous, color images of Chessie, her 2 kittens (Nip & Tuck) and her husband, Peake! When America entered WWII, Peake enlisted in the Army. Many endearing and enduring Charles E. Bracker artwork centered around Peake away in the service while Chessie was at home, doing her part for the war effort (she was America's "Sleep Warden")! The very best of the calendar artwork (Charles E. Bracker was THE artist when it came to the C&O's cats!): Peake Joins The Service, Peake's Favorite Pin-up Girl [Chessie, of course!), Chessie's Hero and Together Again! These vintage pieces inspired Americans at home and on the front - the Terminal Tower in Cleveland, Ohio (HQ of C&O) was flooded with letters addressed to Chessie and to Peake! This book is a treasure - for railroad fans and cat lovers! The book is in excellent condition with very slight age toning to page edges. Shipping is $2.50. Thank you for considering read more
