What makes this book series different?
Many Cobb and Co. works repeat well-established discourses, while the aim of this book series is to retell the Cobb and Co. story by piecing together excerpts mostly written during the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, hence allowing ‘history to speak for itself’. The original text may make you feel like you are the one sitting on the ‘box seat’ next to the driver, jolting along the many tracks of Cobb and Co. My hope is that the excerpts I have chosen pay homage to the people and times of Cobb and Co.
