To-do list for Franklin B. Gowen: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2018-07-15
Break into sections
Expand the section on his childhood (although I would like to find more details about his education)
Further elaborate on his term as president of the Reading
Expand the sections about his law practice, both before and after the railroad
Add family details (did he marry or have children?)
Re WBA -- by time of Long Strike, it had become the W&LBA, tied into nationwide unionizing of miners and mine workers -- need to correct this in the Long Strike discussion Shimjung1 16:15, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Shimjung1 16:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Bankruptcies of Reading Railroad and Gowen's ouster Shimjung1 16:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Are there any other photos that would be appropriate that we can use here? -- need graphics of John Siney, Pottsville Twin Shaft colliery, Philadelphia's Port Richmond, John Kehoe, perhaps George de Benneville Keim, a Wootten 'camelback' locomotive Shimjung1 00:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Gowen & Great railroad strike of 1877 : more interesting than Mollies IMHO. Shimjung1 16:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
