Frank Hamilton Spearman (September 6, 1859 – December 29, 1937) was an American author.
He was known for his books in the Western fiction genre and especially for his fiction and non-fiction works on the topic of railroads. The books were illustrated by leading wrists, such as N. C. Wyeth (Whispering Smith).

The train, a special, made up of a private car and a diner, was running on a slow order and crawled between the bluffs at a snail’s pace.
It’s a pity, too,” declared Conductor O’Brien, who was acting as mountain Baedeker, “that we’re held back this way when we’re covering the prettiest stretch on the road for running. It is right along here where you are riding that the speed records of the world have been made. Fourteen and six-tenths miles were done in nine and a half minutes just west of that curve about six months ago—of course it was down hill.”
