The C&O Historical Society has undertaken an exciting publications
project called Chesapeake & Ohio History Series Books.
This
series will consist of a book issued every quarter. Each book will
treat an aspect of C&O history, equipment, structures, etc., more
extensively than we could provide in our C&O magazine. Topics for
these books may be continuations or expansions of magazine articles, or
entirely new subjects not covered before.
This expanded format
will allow us to publish many more drawings, maps, and photos, and
sometimes to make them larger than would be possible in any article
treatment.
Each book will be developed based on information
contained in our archives based on these criteria; on whether the
subject is thought to have a broad interest among rail fans and
historians; if it deserves extensive treatment because of its importance
in C&O history; or it is so extensive a subject that no magazine
article could do it justice.
