The coming and going of small trolley systems from about 1890 up until Henry Ford and his friends knocked them out of service is the same story just spun a bit differently each time. The second version of this is the buying up of trolley lines by subsidiaries of GM, etc, so more busses can be sold.

In this particular version, the writing is fun to read as the author was taking excerpts from local papers and there is some fun writing going on here. It's an enjoyable set of stories for this area. ( )
