The second volume in the history of the Union Pacific begins after
the financial panic of 1893, one of the worst depressions Americans
had yet experienced, which pushed the railroad into bankruptcy.
Maury Klein examines the complex challenges faced by the Union
Pacific in the new century--the expanding role of government and
its restrictive regulations, the growth of labor unions, the
devastating effects of two world wars, and the growing competition
from new modes of transportation--and how, under the innovative and
influential leadership of Edward H. Harriman, the Union Pacific
again played the role of industrial pioneer. Union Pacific has
remained one of the strongest railroads in the country, surviving
the eras of government regulation and the corporate mergers of the
past twenty-five years. Insightful, definitive in scope, rich in
colorful anecdotes and superb characterizations, Union Pacific is a
fascinating saga not only of a particular railroad but also about
how that industry transformed America. Maury Klein is professor of
history at the University of Rhode Island. He is the author of
several books, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Life and
Legend of Jay Gould.
