Sedgwick, John

This is not just the story of two bitterly determined railroad companies; it’s also a portrait of a violent and visionary strain of the American psyche, one that Sedgwick argues is very much still with us. This will primarily appeal to readers interested in railroad history.

Sedgwick's journalistic writing style allows for an informative book that will appeal to general readers, while also providing much-needed historical research. Libraries will want to add this volume to their U.S. history and Native American history collections.
