About the author

George Francis Train

1829–1904

A restless 19th-century promoter and world traveler, he helped shape rail and streetcar ventures on both sides of the Atlantic and became famous for a globe-circling journey that may have helped inspire Around the World in Eighty Days. His life mixed real business ambition with a flair for publicity that made him one of his era’s most colorful public figures.
