Time has been very good to Thomas Weber's Northern Railroads in the CivilWar, 1861-1865. First published by Columbia University Press in 1952, it has beenout of print since the 1970s, but never out of demand. It has emerged as the premieraccount of the impact of the railroads on the American Civil War and vice versa. Notonly did the railroads materially help the north to victory through movement oftroops and materiel, but the war materially changed the way railroads were built, run, financed, and organized in the crucial years following thewar. We are still waiting (9/1/98) for the reviews to come fromthe author's files. "Thomas Weber's study of northern railroadsduring the Civil War remains the obvious treatment of an important topic. Hisanalysis rests on solid research and leaves no doubt that the North's excellent useof railroads contributed significantly to Union victory." -- Gary W.Gallagher (shortened) "Thomas Weber's... analysis restson solid research and leaves no doubt that the North's excellent use of railroadscontributed significantly to Union victory." -- Gary W.Gallagher

True story of railroads and men in the Civil War.
The Civil War was the first conflict in which railroads played a major role. The Cumberland Valley Railroad's location enhanced its importance during some of the Civil War's most critical campaigns. The primary sources, combined with the expertise of the authors, bring this largely untold story to life.

The first book to examine what was actually going on during the Civil War on the home front -- as far as the North was concerned. A scholarly and objective survey of the effects of the Civil War on economic and social life in the North. Describes what the people behind the lines were doing in their occupations and their personal lives, and analyzes industrial and agricultural growth and the effects of the war on all aspects of business and commerce. Examines the degree to which the normal activities of the nation were disrupted; and how far and in what manner they were changed. This remains one of the most reliable studies available on this issue. 1976 reprint.
