Hello, book lovers! And hello, train lovers! If you’ve been hanging around here lately, you will have already heard of Stephenia H. McGee’s new release, Missing Mercy, set a generation after the Civil War. Today, Stephenia is going to be sharing a little about the Pullman parlor cars, which she researched for Missing Mercy.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I happen to come from a train-loving family. Nothing excites my kids like steam trains, so I can only imagine what the excitement would be like if they got to travel cross-country in the kind of style a Pullman car could provide.
