Following the OWL's Footsteps: A guidebook to the sites photographed by O. Winston Link
The author of “Following the OWL’s Footsteps” grew up at the tail end of the age of steam railroading, and has had a life-long armchair-interest in railroads and steam engines. In the year 2000 the author saw and purchased a copy of “Steam, Steel and Stars” in a local bookstore.  Shortly thereafter, a copy of “The Last Steam Railroad in America” was added to his library, and a deep appreciation for Link’s work began. The purchase of a new DSLR camera in 2006, and a chance idea led to a 6 year-long project to catalog, identify and locate the sites photographed by Mr. Link.  The result of that project is this book. The author is a native of the Washington D.C. area, and has spent over 25 years working as a business analyst for government contractors.   The author has also written "The Who is Johnny Dollar Matter", a 3-volume program guide to the old-time radio program “Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar”, which ran on CBS from 1949 to 1962.
