Gospel Tracks Through Texas: The Mission of Chapel Car Good Will. By Wilma Rugh Taylor. (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2005. xviii + 219 pp. Illustrations, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95.)

Gazing out at the vast expanse of western lands, American church-leaders at the turn of the nineteenth century wondered how they might proselytize to the isolated communities that populated the area. The clergy's solution blended modern technology with traditional theology: they developed "chapel cars," renovated railroad cars transformed into traveling churches to bring the gospel into remote parts of the West. In all, thirteen chapel cars (two Catholic and eleven Protestant) traversed the continent between the 1880s and the 1920s. Wilma Rugh Taylor focuses on one of these chapel cars—the Northern Baptist car "Good Will"—and its mission in Texas, which lasted from 1894 until 1903.
