Book Synopsis The Iron Horse at War by : James E. Valle
Download or read book The Iron Horse at War written by James E. Valle and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is primarily a collection of professional photographs showing how the railroads coped with the tremendous surge of traffic engendered by World War II. Prime attraction of course is the reappearance of the steam engine on the rails of the land, and the few diesels shown are of a vintage considered historical by today's collectors. To transport war materiel and personnel, all equipment was needed. In fact much of it, after years of Depression-bred neglect, was in poor condition for the four-year wartime stint. This was a period of great opportunity for all photographers, but one among them, Jack Delano, was assigned by the U.S. Office of War Information to make a definitive study of wartime railroading." --From back cover of jacket.

Download or read book Iron Horses written by Walter R. Borneman and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals. After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on. The prize: a better, shorter, less snowy route through the American Southwest, linking Los Angeles to Chicago. In Iron Horses, Borneman recounts the rivalries, contested routes, political posturing, and business dealings that unfolded as an increasing number of lines pushed their way across the country. Borneman brings to life the legendary robber barons behind it all and also captures the herculean efforts required to construct these roads -- the laborers who did the back-breaking work, the brakemen who ran atop moving cars, the tracklayers crushed and killed by runaway trains. From backroom deals in Washington, DC, to armed robberies of trains in the wild deserts, from cattle cars to streamliners and Super Chiefs, all the great incidents and innovations of a mighty American era are made vivid in Iron Horses.

Book excerpt: In support of the recent thesis that Civil War historians and military critics have over estimated the abilities of Confederate generals as compared to Northern commanders, this study reveals serious deficiencies in logistical command exhibited by high ranking rebel generals. Lash argues that Johnston's failure to effectively use the South's railroads seriously damaged the Confederate effort. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: The lightning flashes, the mutterings of thunder, like the low growls of some angry animal, and the shrieking of the wind through swaying branches, gave a weird, uncanny effect to a scene which was being enacted, on a certain April night of the year 1862, in a secluded piece of woodland a mile or more east of the village of Shelbyville, Tennessee. In the centre of a small clearing hemmed in by trees stood a tall, full-bearded man of distinguished bearing. Around him were grouped twenty sturdy fellows who listened intently, despite the stir of the elements, to something that he was saying in a low, serious tone of voice. None of them, strangely enough, wore a uniform, although they were all loyal Union soldiers belonging to the division of troops commanded by General O. M. Mitchell, then encamped on the banks of Duck River, only a couple of miles away. For the country was now engaged in the life-and-death struggle of the Civil War, when Northerner fought against Southerner-sometimes brother against brother-and no one could predict whether the result would be a divided or a reunited nation.
