Lincoln and the Railroads: A Biographical Study by John W. Starr Jr. is a comprehensive exploration of Abraham Lincoln's relationship with the railroads during his presidency. The book delves into Lincoln's deep connection with the railroad industry, which played a crucial role in the development of the United States during the mid-19th century. The author examines the ways in which Lincoln's personal experiences with the railroads influenced his policies and decisions as president. He also explores the impact of the railroads on the Civil War, the economy, and the expansion of the western frontier. Through extensive research and analysis of primary sources, including letters, speeches, and government records, Starr provides a detailed account of Lincoln's interactions with railroad executives, his support for the construction of new rail lines, and his efforts to regulate the industry. Overall, Lincoln and the Railroads offers a unique perspective on Lincoln's presidency and sheds light on the crucial role that the railroads played in shaping the history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
