The Train Ride That Wouldn't Make You Want to Die

In the late 1850s, George Pullman decided to travel to Chicago and see if he might be able to shortcut the route to wealth and power by striking it rich. He bought 1600 acres near central city Colorado in order to run a truck stop where people could get drunk and eat good food and sleep in a comfortable bed. The Civil War is furthermore helpful to his business because on April 15th, 1865, a dude shot Abraham Lincoln right in his head. Now this was like as terrible for honest Abe?
