In this social history of the impact of railroads on American life, H. Roger Grant concentrates on the railroad's 'golden age,' 18301930. To capture the essence of the nation's railroad experience, Grant explores four fundamental topicstrains and travel, train stations, railroads and community life, and the legacy of railroading in Americaillustrating each topic with carefully chosen period illustrations. Grant recalls the lasting memories left by train travel, both of luxurious Pullman cars and the grit and grind of coalpowered locals. He discusses the important role railroads played for towns and cities across America, not only for the access they provided to distant places and distant markets but also for the depots that were a focus of community life. Finally, Grant reviews the lasting heritage of the railroads as it has been preserved in word, stone, paint, and memory. Railroads and the American People is a sparkling paean to American railroading by one of its finest historians.
