Pullman and the Railroad Rebellion

Overview

In 1864, the powerful industrialist and engineer George Pullman brought luxury to train travel with his revolutionary sleeping cars, where passengers were served by an army of former slaves who became known as Pullman Porters and Maids. Pullman established a company town for employees that gave him complete authority over every aspect of their lives. Audio-narrated descriptions are available.
