商品簡介
Exploring the social, economic, and legal impact of the growth of the railroads, Ms. Gordon finds that their accomplishments in drawing together the vast reaches of the union were achieved at high cost. Smaller towns withered as people and money flowed to the larger cities, and the social and economic life of the nation was forever changed. This is an absorbing story of apparent triumph and real loss, drawn from a wide variety of sources.
