From USA Today:

Fred Harvey, it's said, civilized the West. His chain of restaurants and hotels brought high service standards to early railroad passengers. In his new Appetite for America (Bantam, $27), Stephen Fried recounts Harvey's rise from dishwasher to household name. His "Harvey Girls" served as waitresses and inspired an MGM musical starring Judy Garland. These days"Fred Heads" seek out the remains of his empire. Fried shares some favorite spots with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY.
