| Beginning with the B&O's reaction to John Brown's Raid in 1859 and ending with the demobilization of the Union Army in 1865, the author has written a highly detailed yet readable history of America's most famous railroad during the Civil War. Toomey blends the overall strategy and political aims of that time period with the battles, raids, and daily operational challenges of a Civil War railroad. He introduces an array of little known personalities who worked for, attacked, defended, or traveled on the B&O Railroad. He also shows in numerous instances how the railroad and the telegraph combined to usher in the era of modern warfare along with the introduction of armored railcars, hospital trains, and large-scale troop movements. Hardbound, 6x9", written by Daniel Carroll Toomey (2013), 304 pages, 100 illustrations, 4 maps, 1 appendix. |
