A volume on railroading in the pre-Civil War South. It encompasses a number of social, political, and even ideological subjects.

This volume presents railroading in its heyday. The matter-of-fact descriptive title of this interesting little volume on railroading in the pre-Civil War South does not do justice to Alvarez's coverage of the subject. Along with his full account of trains and train accommodations, he manages to encompass a number of social, political, and even ideological subjects.

Eugene Alvarez served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. He later became a professor of history. He is now retired and enjoys travelling and playing the harmonica.
