This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railroads of the United States, now aggregating a hundred and fifty thousand miles and having several hundred different managements, are frequently spoken of comprehensively as the railroad system of the country, as though they constituted a unity in fact, and might be regarded and dealt with as an entirety, by their patrons and by the public authorities, whenever the conveniences they are expected to supply, or the conduct of managers and agents, come in question. So far, however, is this from being the case, that it would be impossible to name any other industrial interest where the diversities are so obvious and the want of unity so conspicuous and so important. The diversities date from the very origin of the roads; they have not come into existence under the same laws nor subject to the same control. It was accepted as an undoubted truth in constitutional law from the first that the authority for the construction of railroads within a State must come from the State itself, which alone could empower the promoters to appropriate lands by adversary proceedings for the purpose. The grant of corporate power must also come from[xxii] the State, or, at least, have State recognition and sanction; and where the proposed road was to cross a State boundary, the necessary corporate authority must be given by every State through or into which the road was to run. It was conceded that the delegated powers of the General Government did not comprehend the granting of charters for the construction of these roads within the States, and even in the Territories charters were granted by the local legislatures. The case of the transcontinental roads was clearly exceptional; they were to be constructed in large part over the public domain, and subsidies were to be granted by Congress for the purpose.

Book Synopsis Imperial Infrastructures by : Edna Wan

Book excerpt: "This thesis examines how modern infrastructures operate as narrative vehicles for the nation-state by exploring 19th and 20th century railroad projects in the U.S. and China. While railroads facilitate the movement of goods, people, capital, and knowledges within national boundaries, and serve as the material form through which disparate peoples are unified as national subjects, I show how national infrastructures are intimately entangled with forces extraneous to the nation. In tracing the global connections undergirding national railway projects, I suggest that these connections have been disavowed in national historiographies not only as a means through which the nation-state appears as a coherent subject of history, but also obfuscates the ways in which railroads function as infrastructures of imperialism. As my study argues, nationalism emerging out of anti-colonial contexts were deeply informed by imperial expansion fantasies, and charting the development of railroad infrastructure projects helps clarifies this. To analyse the relationship between railroad infrastructure and national narratives, my first chapter provides a historical overview of railroad development in a global context, showing how railroad development shaped the historical configuration of the modern nation-state. Chapter two focuses on the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, which has been largely celebrated in U.S. historiography in national terms and spotlights the railroad's ties to China. Situating the Transcontinental's construction in the longer genealogy of America's earliest encounters with China in the post-Revolutionary period, I show how America's romance of the East propelled 19th century U.S. westward expansion and the construction of the transcontinental railways, to argue that China served as a critical setting in the making of American identity. Chapter three elaborates upon the Transcontinental's ties to China and examines railway development in China by looking at the Xinning Railway, one of the first railways financed by private Chinese capital and built by Chinese labourers in the early 20th century. Through a close-reading of letters, diaries, and journals written by American and Chinese railroad visionaries, my analysis traces recurring tropes and metaphors to consider the ways in which infrastructures are not only informed by politics, but productive of political subjectivities"--

Book Synopsis Railroads in the Old South by : Aaron W. Marrs
Download or read book Railroads in the Old South written by Aaron W. Marrs and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-03-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aaron W. Marrs challenges the accepted understanding of economic and industrial growth in antebellum America with this original study of the history of the railroad in the Old South. Drawing from both familiar and overlooked sources, such as the personal diaries of Southern travelers, papers and letters from civil engineers, corporate records, and contemporary newspaper accounts, Marrs skillfully expands on the conventional business histories that have characterized scholarship in this field. He situates railroads in the fullness of antebellum life, examining how slavery, technology, labor, social convention, and the environment shaped their evolution. Far from seeing the Old South as backward and premodern, Marrs finds evidence of urban life, industry, and entrepreneurship throughout the region. But these signs of progress existed alongside efforts to preserve traditional ways of life. Railroads exemplified Southerners' pursuit of progress on their own terms: developing modern transportation while retaining a conservative social order. Railroads in the Old South demonstrates that a simple approach to the Old South fails to do justice to its complexity and contradictions. -- Dr. Owen Brown and Dr. Gale E. Gibson
