The jacket illustration shows a print of two early steam engines, the Fury and the Liverpool, used on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1831. keywords: History America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century is one of the great watersheds in world history, Of all the achievements of that remarkable era, none was greater than the building of the railroads. This book chronicles that story, focusing on the so-called railway barons-hard-thrusting entrepreneurs who covered the world with a web of iron and steel. Often of humble origin, these men displayed a drive and ambition that won them fame and fortune and sometimes hatred. David Mountfield begins by describing the railway mania that swept Great Britain, Europe, and the United States from the 1830s onward, and then charts the careers of six entrepreneurs whose achievements really justify the title ‘baron': Thomas Brassey and George Hudson in Great Britain, and James Hill, Edward Harriman, Jay Gould, and Jim Fisk in the United States. The drama and passion of this turbulent age, with the occasional touch of scandal, is vividly conveyed, along with all the atmosphere of those far-off pioneering days when an ‘improbable rascal' could run a railway from an opera house. inventory #5770.
