Book Synopsis The American Railway, its Construction, Development, Manage - Theodore Voorhees by : Bogart Thomas Curtis Clarke
Download or read book The American Railway, its Construction, Development, Manage - Theodore Voorhees written by Bogart Thomas Curtis Clarke and published by anboco. 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
Download or read book Imperial Infrastructures written by Edna Wan and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 The Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road Company, 1833-1854 by : James C. Burke
Download or read book The Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road Company, 1833-1854 written by James C. Burke and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-07-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1833, the Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road Company set out to connect the port city of Wilmington to North Carolina's capital. When it was done in 1840, after changing its route, the company had completed 161 miles of track--the longest railroad in the world at the time--and provided continuous transportation from the town of Weldon on the Roanoke River to Wilmington and on to Charleston, South Carolina, by steamboat. A marvel of civil engineering by the standards of the day, the railroad constituted a tour de force of organization, finance and political will that risked the fortunes of individuals and the credit of the state. This study chronicles the project from its inception, exploring its impact on subsequent railroad development in North Carolina and its significance within the context of American railroad history as a whole.

Book Synopsis Traqueros by : Jeffrey Marcos Garcilazo
Download or read book Traqueros written by Jeffrey Marcos Garcilazo and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other industrial technology changed the course of Mexican history in the United States--and Mexico--than did the coming of the railroads. Tens of thousands of Mexicans worked for the railroads in the United States, especially in the Southwest and Midwest. Construction crews soon became railroad workers proper, along with maintenance crews later. Extensive Mexican American settlements appeared throughout the lower and upper Midwest as the result of the railroad. The substantial Mexican American populations in these regions today are largely attributable to 19th- and 20th-century railroad work. Only agricultural work surpassed railroad work in terms of employment of Mexicans. The full history of Mexican American railroad labor and settlement in the United States had not been told, however, until Jeffrey Marcos Garcílazo's groundbreaking research in Traqueros. Garcílazo mined numerous archives and other sources to provide the first and only comprehensive history of Mexican railroad workers across the United States, with particular attention to the Midwest. He first explores the origins and process of Mexican labor recruitment and immigration and then describes the areas of work performed. He reconstructs the workers' daily lives and explores not only what the workers did on the job but also what they did at home and how they accommodated and/or resisted Americanization. Boxcar communities, strike organizations, and "traquero culture" finally receive historical acknowledgment. Integral to his study is the importance of family settlement in shaping working class communities and consciousness throughout the Midwest.
