Author: James E., Jr. Vance

In The North American Railroad, James Vance offers a sweeping account of how the railways transformed the continent. He challenges the commonly held belief that a single rail technology spread from Britain to the rest of the world. Instead, he argues, two distinct traditions of railroad building and utilization developed simultaneously--beginning in Britain around 1825 and in the United States around 1830.
