Book Synopsis The Pennsylvania Railroad, Volume 1 by : Albert J. Churella
Download or read book The Pennsylvania Railroad, Volume 1 written by Albert J. Churella and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do not think of the Pennsylvania Railroad as a business enterprise," Forbes magazine informed its readers in May 1936. "Think of it as a nation." At the end of the nineteenth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the largest privately owned business corporation in the world. In 1914, the PRR employed more than two hundred thousand people—more than double the number of soldiers in the United States Army. As the self-proclaimed "Standard Railroad of the World," this colossal corporate body underwrote American industrial expansion and shaped the economic, political, and social environment of the United States. In turn, the PRR was fundamentally shaped by the American landscape, adapting to geography as well as shifts in competitive economics and public policy. Albert J. Churella's masterful account, certain to become the authoritative history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, illuminates broad themes in American history, from the development of managerial practices and labor relations to the relationship between business and government to advances in technology and transportation. Churella situates exhaustive archival research on the Pennsylvania Railroad within the social, economic, and technological changes of nineteenth- and twentieth-century America, chronicling the epic history of the PRR intertwined with that of a developing nation. This first volume opens with the development of the Main Line of Public Works, devised by Pennsylvanians in the 1820s to compete with the Erie Canal. Though a public rather than a private enterprise, the Main Line foreshadowed the establishment of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1846. Over the next decades, as the nation weathered the Civil War, industrial expansion, and labor unrest, the PRR expanded despite competition with rival railroads and disputes with such figures as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. The dawn of the twentieth century brought a measure of stability to the railroad industry, enabling the creation of such architectural monuments as Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The volume closes at the threshold of American involvement in World War I, as the strategies that PRR executives had perfected in previous decades proved less effective at guiding the company through increasingly tumultuous economic and political waters.

This book was released on 2020-01-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Ashbaugh - I just finished reading your book. Boy, did that ever turn the clock back. I think that described life in those small towns to a tee. Congratulations on getting it published. TOWN and TIME ... My cycle of life began January 12, 1945, seven months before the end of WWII, in Emlenton, Pennsylvania, a borough of some 800 souls, where generations of my father's family had lived and died. Emlenton, which lies partially isolated in the hills of northwestern Pennsylvania, offered few outside distractions, so we relied heavily on our imaginations and the natural resources that surrounded us. The swimming holes along Richey Run Creek, the Indian cave below the town cemetery, and long hikes along the railroad tracks that followed alongside the majestic Allegheny River offered plenty of adventure and diversion. Our lives revolved around paper routes, baseball, pin ball machines, hotdogs, French fries, 5&10 stores, dances, and dating. The freezing cold winters involved basketball, deer hunting and fur trapping. A youthful fertile mind, interested in science, led to rocketry, homemade motors, crystal radios, moonshine, and motor scooters that provided a lifetime of memories. The stories shared are sometimes funny, poignant, and often laced with mischief. Emlenton seemed to be magical, and those times now seem idyllic. This is where I grew up, and this book is about the time, the place, the people, and the events that formed my coming of age in the 1950s.

Indian chiefs of the Six Nations, who greeted him warmly and assured him that they wished to be friendly with the people of Virginia and to consider them as friends and brothers, "linked together in one chain." Croghan returned to Pittsburg with Washington, who remained that night in Semple's Tavern. On the day following, October 20. they secured a large canoe "with sufficient store of provisions and necessaries," and all set off for a trip down the Ohio river. On November 21 Washington returned to Pittsburg and on November 22 he invited the officers of the garrison and others to dine with him at Semple's Tavern, thus showing a hospitality perhaps in return for the courtesies that the garrison and others had extended to him and his party a month previous. On the 23rd of November, Washington and his party rode away on horseback, as they had come. This was the last visit that he made to this place. When he was here there were a few unpretentious shops, a gun-smith, a weaver, a breeches maker, and perhaps one or two stores, each keeping a few simple articles that all western settlers stood in need of. The British officers with their well-known red coats and gold lace were probably the only ones here who were not dressed in homespun garments or in garments made from the skins of animals. Elsewhere in these pages this manner of dress and the style of log-houses found then on the rude frontier has been properly considered. Notwithstanding the slow growth of Pittsburg, when Westmoreland county was formed on March 26, 1773, it was the largest town in western Pennsylvania and aspired with great reason to become the county seat of the new county. St. Clair, it will be remembered, was the most prominent citizen west of the...
