Originally published by UNC Press in 1952, The Railroads of the
Confederacy tells the story of the first use of railroads on a
major scale in a major war. Robert Black presents a complex and
fascinating tale, with the railroads of the American South playing
the part of tragic hero in the Civil War: at first vigorous though
immature; then overloaded, driven unmercifully, starved for iron;
and eventually worn out--struggling on to inevitable destruction in
the wake of Sherman's army, carrying the Confederacy down with
them. With maps of all the Confederate railroads and contemporary
photographs and facsimiles of such documents as railroad tickets,
timetables, and soldiers' passes, the book will captivate railroad
enthusiasts as well as readers interested in the Civil War. |The
only comprehensive history of the South's use of railroads during
the Civil War.
