Product Description
Synopsis
The South Shore Line has reflected the triumphs and misfortunes of the Calumet Region throughout the 20th century. For its first two decades, it survived good times and bad until its landmark purchase by Samuel Insull's Midland Utilities in 1925. Insull launched an aggressive marketing campaign, including a set of colourful, artistic posters designed by some of Chicago's most talented artists. Moonlight in Duneland tells the story of that campaign, reproducing more than 40 known surviving posters and other advertising items from the 1920s to the 1970s, as well as art commissioned more recently by the Northwest Indiana Forum.

This is more an art history type of book than railroad history.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent purchase. i highly recommend it!, 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Moonlight in Duneland (Hardcover)
i bought this book for the posters, and for the memories it brought to life. i was surprised at how entertaining the writing was. i am not a railroad buff, but i found the stories most interesting. you do not have to be from (da region) to enjoy the stories, and the posters are an absolute delight. if the book ever comes back into stock, i plan to buy several and make gifts of them.
