New York State Historians Give the Black Beast a Big Thumbs Up!
Following my presentation of the "Incredible Vanderbilt Cup Races of Long Island" at the 2012 Association of Public Historians of New York State lsast Wednesday, several historians experienced the Alco "Black Beast" first-hand in the parking lot of the Hyatt Regency Long Island. Check out their excitment and the resulting thumbs ups.

“Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful lecture——you must have taken too many history electives at the Brook!!!! Great use of visuals which add so much to any lecture—-great content and factual data to soothe the heart of any traditional historian. Oh—-Thanks for the ride in the Black Beast—-a real treat. Fine job Howard—just a fine job—-wonderful end to the conference.”
