About the author

Edwin A. Pratt

1854–1922

Best known for clear, practical writing on railways, canals, and agriculture, this British journalist turned complex public-policy debates into books ordinary readers could follow. He also wrote biographies and social studies, moving easily from transport and trade to politics and reform.
