Product Description
Product Description
An affectionate but frank portrait of the inspired, self-taught, often testy and pig-headed Geordie, Financial Times George Stephenson and his famous Rocket are both household names, and yet the man behind the birth of the railways is still a shadowy figure to most people. Until this book, little had been written about him since Samuel Smiles's biography in 1857. Hunter Davies set out to remedy this. After three years of research, he has created a memorable human portrait not only of a great Victorian, but also of an original and remarkable man.
