The Central Pacific Railroad and the Legend of Cape Horn

From: "Guy Daugherty" defiant@inreach.com

Mr. Strobridge:

I've just read your article about Cape Horn, and the abuses of historians. I found it to be absolutely fascinating, and wanted to thank you for the depth and accuracy of your efforts. It's interesting to hear odd scratchings in the background when told certains historical "facts," only to find when a bright light is shone upon them that there were mice in the works after all. I'm an Adolph Sutro fan, and had heard some similar distortions while listening to the docents during open house days after his Tunnel's portal had been restored.

You have my admiration and appreciation.
