Reviews
"This impressive work by two of New Mexico's outstanding scholars is thoroughly researched and elegantly written. Overhaul addresses a long-neglected and crucial piece of Albuquerque industrial and cultural history."--Rick Hendricks, coauthor of Four Square Leagues: Pueblo Indian Land in New Mexico, "Overhaul: A Social History of the Albuquerque Locomotive Repair Shops, by noted historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint, engages readers in more than a local history of trains and tracks. In these pages, a story emerges about Albuquerque's multicultural growth spurt during the twentieth century. May it deepen people's respect for these buildings and spur our resolve to save them."--Kate Nelson, New Mexico Magazine, "The importance of the Albuquerque shops to the evolution of the city has long been known, and many authors have mentioned it in passing. However, in this dedicated history, the Flints have taken the story from beginning to end in a carefully researched yet highly readable book. This is a must-have for Albuquerqueans, historians, and railroad buffs."--John Taylor, author of Bloody Valverde: A Civil War Battle on the Rio Grande, February 21, 1862

Synopsis
In Overhaul, historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint present the largely forgotten story of Albuquerque's locomotive repair shops, which were the driving force behind the city's economy for more than seventy years., Winner of the 2021 Southwest Book Award from the Border Regional Library Association In Overhaul, historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint present the largely forgotten story of Albuquerque's locomotive repair shops, which were the driving force behind the city's economy for more than seventy years. In the course of their study they also document the thousands of skilled workers who kept the locomotives in operation, many of whom were part of the growing Hispano and Native American middle class. Their critical work kept the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe's steam trains running and established and maintained Albuquerque's unique character in the region. Including a generous selection of historic photographs, Overhaul provides a glimpse into the people, places, culture, and special history found in Albuquerque's locomotive shops during the boom of steam railroading. The Flints provide an engaging and informative account of how these shops and workers played a crucial role in the formation and development of the Duke City., In Overhaul , historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint present the largely forgotten story of Albuquerque's locomotive repair shops, which were the driving force behind the city's economy for more than seventy years.

- n***o (470)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat seller! Excellent communication (very intentional responses)! Fast Shipping! Great value! Excellent deals (buy 2 get 1 FREE)! Good Quality & also Acceptable condition. My only constructive feedback is that the books should be shipped a little safer/more securely. 2 of the 3 books were quite beat-up (one had 2 pages falling off), so, I feel their condition would have benefited from better/safer package (perhaps use a cardboard?). But overall, excellent experience. I recommend this store.
