Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The bus system that came to be known as the Greyhound Bus Company was founded by Carl Eric Wickman, an enterprising Swede of Hibbing, Minnesota. The first bus was a seven-passenger Hupmobile touring car that was used to transport miners across the Mesaba Iron Range to and from work. Wickman was soon joined by another Swede, Andrew Anderson, and they began operating in earnest the route from a saloon in Hibbing to the fire-hall in Alice. From this lowly beginning grew the Greyhound Corporation, a multi-million dollar company which, through the years, has owned everything from a chain of hamburger restaurants to a soap company.

Reseña del editor:

Greyhound, the largest and most enduring bus company in the US, had its beginning in the 1920s in the frigid climes of northern Minnesota. This work shows how the Greyhound Corporation has turned into a multimillion-dollar company.
