Beschreibung:
This first social history of the early railroads reveals how ordinary Americans experienced this innovation at the grass roots, from boosters' dreams of get-rich schemes to naysayers' fears of soulless corporations. Drawing on an amazing 400,000 articles from 185 newspapers—plus more than 3,000 books and pamphlets from the era—it documents the initial burst of enthusiasm accompanying early railroading as it took shape in various settings across the country.
