Comments about PBS American Experience: Riding the Rails DVD:

I cann't imagine how calloused the politicians were until FDR started his "New Deal" to relieve the strain. Are we headed there again?

American Experience: Riding the Rails

By Old JW

from North Webster, IN

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Riding the Rails DVD:

I ordersd this because my father was one of these young people who rode the rails. When he would tell me of his adventures and his friends who went with him, he never told me why they did this. I just assumed that they did it for a lark.
