American Railroads

1.		Classic American Railroads (Boxed Set) from Motorbooks International Price: $30.39 Customer Review: Being sofa bound for a week this was a sanity saver.

The box set even more so compared with buying the individual books.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		North American Railroad Bridges from Voyageur Press Price: $24.39 Customer Review: A good overview of the many different types of bridge construction.

5.		Encyclopedia of North American Railroads from Indiana University Press Price: $69.97 Customer Review: Had no details on my major interest--the accident of January 1853 that was fatal to President-elect Franklin Pierce's only surviving son, Benny.

6.		Erie Lackawanna: The Death of an American Railroad, 1938-1992 from Stanford University Press Price: $21.80 Customer Review: The Erie Lackawanna, whose main line was New York-Chicago, was one of the more interesting US railroads.

8.		Railroads and American Law from University Press of Kansas Customer Review: This fine book is, as Herbert Hovenkamp has called it, "a monumental achievement." If Ely has missed a connection between railroad law and any other important topic in American legal history, I am unaware of it--everything from the use of slaves to build railroads to insolvency, receiverships, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
