Publisher: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons: 1905

Seller ID: 012253

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Good Plus

Black cloth on boards. Normal cover corner wear. No writing. I read only the first chapter, which waxes eloquently on the achievements of the Vanderbilts, especially the New York Central System.

Seller ID: 009065

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Near Fine

Original rust cloth on boards. No marks or damage. The first of a two-volume set.

One can visualize the bitter quarrels, the endless maneuvers, and demanding physical requirements resulting in a new system of overland transport. Imagine having your local railroad amalgamated into a nationwide system, headquartered far away. The author mak...
