Allen Foster

Allen Foster is a serious George Francis Train enthusiast. George Francis Train was, among other things, the real Phileas Fogg: capitalist, communist, royalist, revolutionary, genius, lunatic, visionary prophet, pacifist, warmonger, presidential aspirant, and later, candidate for dictator of the United States, railroad pioneer, writer, and, ultimately, an eccentric.

Around the World with Citizen Train chronicles Train’s amazing life and times, including the story of how he was falsely accused of stealing $2 million during the gold rush in Australia and then offered the presidency of the Australian Republic. Around the World with Citizen Train is a wonderful tale of excitement and adventure.

Allen Foster lives in County Kildare. He is a full time writer; he is also a qualified chartered surveyor. Around the World with Citizen Train is his first book.
