Download or read book Recasting American Liberty written by Barbara Young Welke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-13 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through courtroom dramas from 1865 to 1920 - of men forced to jump from moving cars when trainmen refused to stop, of women emotionally wrecked from the trauma of nearly missing a platform or street, and women barred from first class ladies' cars because of the color of their skin - Barbara Welke offers a dramatic reconsideration of the critical role railroads, and streetcars, played in transforming the conditions of individual liberty at the dawn of the twentieth century. The three-part narrative, focusing on the law of accidental injury, nervous shock, and racial segregation in public transit, captures Americans' journey from a cultural and legal ethos celebrating manly independence and autonomy to one that recognized and sought to protect the individual against the dangers of modern life. Gender and race become central to the transformation charted here, as much as the forces of corporate power, modern technology and urban space.

This book was released on 1948 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In dealing with the numerous tasks of railroad regulation, governmental control has probably met its severest test in its establishment of a general level of rates. Other problems of regulation, the correction of unjust discrimination, valuation of carrier's property for rate-making purposes, abandonment and extension of service, the long and short haul controversy, safety and health regulations, and the establishment of cooperative routing arrangements with competing lines and carriers, to name a few, receive the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission, but here we wish to deal with the stated task of the I.C.C. with respect to the exercise of control over rates and the resulting general level of rates. This control has as its aim the establishment of rates which will provide for the carriers under honest, efficient and economical management sufficient revenue to insure adequate and efficient rail service and to attract needed capital. A broad and comprehensive view is necessary to determine the relative weights to be accorded to the need for a healthy railroad system as a vital social instrument among the various agencies which provide transportation facilities and the necessity for the railroads to be viewed as another in the aggregate of the nation's industries which must share the common fate of instability in a progressive economy. Into this rate-making ability which aims to secure for the carriers adequate but not excessive earnings, we wish to inquire in this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America was made by the railroads. The opening of the Baltimore & Ohio line -- the first American railroad -- in the 1830s sparked a national revolution in the way that people lived thanks to the speed and convenience of train travel. Promoted by visionaries and built through heroic effort, the American railroad network was bigger in every sense than Europe's, and facilitated everything from long-distance travel to commuting and transporting goods to waging war. It united far-flung parts of the country, boosted economic development, and was the catalyst for America's rise to world-power status. Every American town, great or small, aspired to be connected to a railroad and by the turn of the century, almost every American lived within easy access of a station. By the early 1900s, the United States was covered in a latticework of more than 200,000 miles of railroad track and a series of magisterial termini, all built and controlled by the biggest corporations in the land. The railroads dominated the American landscape for more than a hundred years but by the middle of the twentieth century, the automobile, the truck, and the airplane had eclipsed the railroads and the nation started to forget them. In The Great Railroad Revolution, renowned railroad expert Christian Wolmar tells the extraordinary story of the rise and the fall of the greatest of all American endeavors, and argues that the time has come for America to reclaim and celebrate its often-overlooked rail heritage.
