The Railroads of the Confederacy
Robert Black, III. Tells the story of the first use of railroads on a major scale in a major war. It's 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. 392 pgs., 6"x 9¼", sfbd.
