Reviews

The time is right to bring the South into the story of the economic transformation of antebellum America. Aaron Marrs does this with force and grace in Railroads in the Old South. - John L. Larson, Purdue University I am hard pressed to think of another volume that better catches the overall effect railroads had on the Old South. - Kenneth W. Noe, Auburn University
