I cannot remember who recommended this book to me, but it is very good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sam, I am not good at reading minds Smile; what is the book? 

It is an history of the Pullman Porters.  It is written well and for me, at least, contains numerous instances that I can relate to.  I am old enough to have travelled in Pullman sleepers for two decades.
