"A History of the American Locomotive:
Its Development, 1830-1880"
J.H. White Jr.

If you are to own only one book on early locomotives, this is the one to get. An absolutely jam-packed, scholarly study of 19th Century steam. The quantity and detail of information is incredible. It is a primary resource for anyone interested in early steam. The author was the head of the Transportation Department of the Smithsonian Institute and is the greatest living expert on American early steam. I recommend this book without reservation. You NEED to get this one! SMR uses this book as one of the primary sources for model information.
