I think Fisher's title would have been only slightly more accurate if he had added the word quotations to "with photographs, maps, and drawings" because that's all that was missing. In addition to an informative narrative and the before mentioned photos, maps, and drawings Fisher includes fitting quotes from Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Woodrow Wilson as well as song lyrics and poetry. While Tracks Across America is a condensed version of the story of the American railroad Fisher makes an effort to include all aspects of the history including before the railroads, the building period, the Civil War, Native American "resistance" (really hard to read), famous robberies and disasters, and progress with bigger and faster engines.
