This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the grand antebellum plans to build railroads to interconnect the vast American republic, perhaps none was more ambitious than the Louisville, Cincinnati & Charleston. The route was intended to link the cotton-producing South and the grain and livestock growers of the Old Northwest with traders and markets in the East, creating economic opportunities along its 700-mile length. But then came the Panic of 1837, and the project came to a halt. H. Roger Grant tells the incredible story of this singular example of "railroad fever" and the remarkable visionaries whose hopes for connecting North and South would require more than half a century—and one Civil War—to reach fruition.

Download or read book History of the Louisville Nashville Railroad written by Maury Klein and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad took the lead among southern railroads in developing rail systems and organizing transcontinental travel. Through two world wars, federal government control, internal crises, external dissension, the Depression, and the great Ohio River flood of 1937, the L&N Railroad remained one of the country's most efficient lines. It is a southern institution and a railroad buff's dream. When eminent railroad historian Maury Klein's definitive History of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was first published in 1972, it quickly became one of the most sought after books on railroad history. This new edition both restores a hard-to-find classic to print and provides a new introduction by Klein detailing the L&N's history in the thirty years since the book was first published.

Download or read book Louisville Nashville Railroad in South Central Kentucky written by Kevin Comer and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the midpoint of the 19th century, people and goods moved by river or muddy roads, which made traveling difficult; a stagecoach trip from Louisville to Nashville took 36 hours. Railroads were coming into prominence at the time, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was chartered in 1850. It was completed between the namesake cities in 1859, overcoming many obstacles such as Muldraugh's Hill, Green River, and Tennessee Ridge. The line became a pawn during the Civil War, used by both Union and Confederate forces, and endured heavy damages to survive and prosper. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad would grow into one of America's great success stories, expanding to nearly 7,000 miles of track throughout the Southeast. This volume covers the L&N Main Line in southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee, the Memphis Line, the Mammoth Cave Railroad, the Glasgow Railway, the Portage Railroad, and a branch to Scottsville.

It is due to the citizens of Charleston that the information I obtained at the north-west, however scanty it may he, should be communicated to them, since it was at their instance and from their favorable consideration and confidence in me that I was placed in a situation to obtain it. It is proper that I should, in the first place, state what has taken place in relation to the charter, and my reasons for being satisfied with the modifications made in it by the Ken. Tucky Legislature. In three states it passed in the shape it came from your committee. And when 1 presented it to Kentucky, it bore on its, face that spirit of liberality which was worthy the state where it originated. It declared our object and our wishes, and presented a carte blanche for Ken. Tucky to fill in the manner which might best comport With her interests. Her legislature acceded to our wishes to pass the road through her territory to Cincinnati. While doing this, she would have been delinquent to herself, had she not protected the interests of her own citizens, her own com mercial towns. She did protect them in the way she thought best, and of which she was the sole judge. She required the road to pass through Lexington and to branch to Louis ville and Maysville.

Download or read book The Louisville Nashville Railroad 1850 1963 written by Kincaid A. Herr and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1964 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A history of the L & N Railroad which had its beginning in 1850: The author chronicles the birth and growing pains of this enterprise which started by building a few miles of track near Louisville, KY, and steadily extended its lines until they stretched more than 5000 miles through thirteen states. The story involves not only the growth of a railroad but also its contribution to the building of a "new South" by tapping natural resources and nurturing industry as it marched from the Ohio River to the Gulf of Mexico. Although the heart of the account is the building of the L & N, Mr. Herr has lightened his account with sidelights and anecdotes and his diligent search of the company archives and many other sources produced more than 300 illustrations. Some of the pictures are representative of the earliest use of photography. They are supplemented by drawings typical of the period when hand-drawn art was the rule and camera illustrations were rare."--page [4] of dust jacket.
