Pete -
My copy of Rio Grande Glory Days is a 1976 printing by Golden West Books,
copyrighted by Alice Lathrop, his widow. The rear of the book includes a
comprehensive listing of Lathrop's writings, including magazine stories.
Mystery Rides The Rails was a book published in 1937, following his Whispering
Rails in 1936. His other book was Little Engines and Big Men in 1954, and I
believe he did not publish Rio Grande Glory Days himself, as it was finished
shortly before his death in 1959.
