A cool article in the Strand Magazine, 1899

"For sixty years (1891-1950) The Strand Magazine was a popular source for the best in fiction, featuring the works of some of the greatest authors of the 20th century including Graham Greene, Agatha Christie, Rudyard Kipling, G.K.Chesterton, Leo Tolstoy, Georges Simenon and, of course, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle".


Internet Archive.com has quite a few issues of the Strand, digitized online, mostly from 1893 and 1899 for some reason.  This article is from April, 1899.  "A collision between two powerful railway locomotives"--wow!  I'd love to see that!





Wouldn't that be COOL?
