Talk:Franklin B. Gowen/to do


 * 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)
 * Convert the references to inline citations as appropriate
