Took a ride in the Pullman car on the Winnipesaukee Scenic RR in New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes region. A wonderful day out! @cornellupress.bsky.social

Albert Pullman made this table, preserved in Michigan’s Grand Rapids Public Museum and evidence of the woodworking skill that endeared him to Pullman laborers. More in _Gilded Age Entrepreneur_ @cornelluniversitypress

Dickinson County Courthouse, Abilene, Kansas: here I found no evidence of Albert Pullman’s heavily advertised land scheme: was he a con man or a poor record keeper? The answer is in my book _Gilded Age Entrepreneur_, out in September!

Greetings! I'm on Blue Sky in advance of my new book, coming out with Cornell University Press in September. It's about an American entrepreneur who helped create & market luxury railroad cars before investing widely & wildly--the Pullman brother you've never heard of!

A Pullman Mutual Benefit Association membership certificate: my initial mysterious archival glimpse of Albert Pullman! Echoes of my first book, on friendly societies and a challenge to keep looking for this Pullman brother missing from the company’s histories!
