Review Quotes:

"Author Foust is to be commended for presenting a complete and unbiased account of this extraordinary man's working life."--Michigan Railfan

"This tome is a great read for anyone that seeks to know more of the in-depth facts that surrounded the success of this world acclaimed engineer."--Lexington Quarterly

"Clifford Faust has produced an excellent biography that is certainly not hagiography; it is a warts-and-all portrayal. . . . The study is thoroughly researched and Foust used a large body of previously unused family papers . . . Readers of this journal will find the chapters on the work Stevens accomplished for the railroads of particular interest."--Railroad History
