All aboard!

It's 1876...

​

Make way for the Jarrett Players, a troupe of Shakespearean actors traveling coast-to-coast from New York City to San Francisco nonstop on the LIGHTNING EXPRESS to perform Henry V.

​

Three Days?

 

Unheard of! Spectacular! Never done before!

​

Newspapers love this daring publicity stunt. Railroads too. What a grand way to celebrate the nation's 100th anniversary (and make tons of money too)!

​

It’s a non-stop ride with an unexpected finish, not only for Henry V, but Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill, and George Armstrong Custer, too.
