John W. Garrett and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Details the history of the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad, the first chartered railroad in the United States, from its modest beginnings to its significant role in American development. It extensively covers John W. Garrett's transformative presidency, highlighting his efforts to expand the B&O into a major transportation force amidst fierce competition and economic challenges, including the Panic of 1857. The text also explores the B&O's critical contributions during the Civil War, notably its support for the Union and Garrett's contentious yet pivotal relationship with federal officials like Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton. Furthermore, the sources touch upon Garrett's personal life, family, and philanthropic endeavors, alongside his challenges with labor and his enduring rivalries with other railroad magnates. Finally, the collection examines the broader impact of railroads on American society, economy, and technology during the 19th century, setting the stage for future industrial growth.
