Book Writing Update and Progress December 24, 2021

My original deadline for publishing at the end of 2021 has come and gone. Researching, learning, and writing has evolved so much more than I thought was possible. The amount of details and history about these machines is staggering. Every time that I think an information source is exhausted, someone will email me or I will read a social media comment and I come across more history. The book will be completed in early to mid 2022. A critical historical resource for the Sno-Train chapter will not be available until May. Until then, I am finishing up the Overland Mark 2 chapter and editing the remaining chapters.

Editing the chapters has been the most laborious. I am publishing on Amazon, but that does not mean the editing scrutiny is any less robust. I have one editor for content and another applying the Chicago Manual of Style.
