{"product_id":"history-of-georgia-railroads-a-transportation","title":"History of Georgia Railroads, A (Transportation)","description":"Railroads are central in the history of Georgia. Explore 200 years of railroad expansion and consolidation in this must-read for railroad and Georgia history fans.\nBefore the start of the Civil War, Georgia had ten railroads, five of which figured significantly in General William T. Sherman's Atlanta Campaign and March to the Sea.\nThe number of rail lines in the state ballooned after the war. Many were founded by individual entrepreneurs like Henry Plant and Thomas Clyde, while the biggest railroad of them all (Southern Railway) was created out of whole cloth by New York financier J.P. Morgan. At the close of the nineteenth century, consolidation was already in process, and by the end of the next century, only three significant railroads remained in Georgia.\nAuthor and historian Robert C. Jones examines Georgia's rail history over the past two centuries and today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1467137774\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1467137774.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jones, Robert C.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
