Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First printing [stated]. xiv, 428, [6] pages . Illustrations. Maps. Comment on the Sources. Index. DJ has slight wear, soiling, and sticker residue. The coming of the railroad to America in the 1830s was one of the most significant events in its history. Enab…ling towns, industries and farms to spring up away from the waterways, it transformed the social and economic face of the nation. This is a chronicle of the great railroad founders and builders, famous trains and classic stations. It also explores the corruption and greed of the pioneers, the too-frequent sacrifice of safety for speed, and the threat posed by other forms of transport. Albro Martin, American historian, educator. Recipient Columbia prize in American Economic history in honor of Allan Nevins, 1970. Served with United States Army Air Force, 1943-1946. Member American History Association, Organization American Historians (Binkley-Stephenson prize 1975), Economic History Association, Business History Conference, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi.

Lecturer in business history, editor Business History Review Harvard University, 1976-1981. He is the Oglesby professor American heritage Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois, since 1982. In 1789, when the First Congress met in New York City, the members traveled to the capital just as Roman senators two thousand years earlier had journeyed to Rome, by horse, at a pace of some five miles an hour. Indeed, if sea travel had improved dramatically since Caesar's time, overland travel was still so slow, painful, and expensive that most Americans lived all but rooted to the spot, with few people settling more than a hundred miles from the ocean (a mere two percent lived west of the Appalachians). America in effect was just a thin ribbon of land by the sea, and it wasn't until the coming of the steam railroad that our nation would unfurl across the vast inland territory. In Railroads Triumphant, Albro Martin provides a fascinating history of rail transportation in America, moving well beyond the "Romance of the Rails" sort of narrative to give readers a real sense of the railroad's importance to our country. The railroad, Martin argues, was "the most fundamental innovation in American material life." It could go wherever rails could be laid--and so, for the first time, farms, industries, and towns could leave natural waterways behind and locate anywhere. (As Martin points out, the railroads created small-town America just as surely as the automobile created the suburbs.) The railroad was our first major industry, and it made possible or promoted the growth of all other industries, among them coal, steel, flour milling, and commercial farming. It established such major cities as Chicago, and had a lasting impact on urban design. And it worked hand in hand with the telegraph industry to transform communication. Indeed, the railroads were the NASA of the 19th century, attracting the finest minds in finance, engineering, and law. But Martin doesn't merely catalogue the past greatness of the railroad. In closing with the episodes that led first to destructive government regulation, and then to deregulation of the railroads and the ensuing triumphant rebirth of the nation's basic means of moving goods from one place to another, Railroads Triumphant offers an impassioned defense of their enduring importance to American economic life. And it is a book informed by a lifelong love of railroads, brimming with vivid descriptions of classic depots, lavish hotels in Chicago, the great railroad founders, and the famous lines. Thoughtful and colorful by turn, this insightful history illuminates the impact of the railroad on our lives.
