Publisher's Summary:

The matter-of-fact descriptive title of this interesting little volume on railroading in the pre-Civil War South does not do justice to Alvarez's coverage of the subject. Along with his full account of trains and train accommodations, he manages to encompass a number of social, political, and even ideological subjects.

Critic Reviews:

"A charming and informative examination of the early years of railroads." (

Miami Herald)

"Recommended to all interested in trains and Southern social history." (

Journal of Southern History)

Members Reviews:

Nostalgic Look At Mid-19th Century Transportation

A very well presented look at American Railroads (particularly Southern Railroads) of the mid 19th century. The historicity and sentiment of the time is refreshingly accurate. There is much included from writings of foreign visitors to the US, as well as natives, about the travel and nature of the rail lines. Very informative and nostalgic for those who are interested in the period, whether or not your interest includes trains.
