Description

Book Synopsis

1) Grant is considered one of the leading scholars in transportation and a well-respected addition to the list.
2) This is the first book that examines all of these aspects of transportation. It will be the authoritative book on the subject.
3) IUP's railroad titles have traditionally sold well and are considered at the top of their field.



Trade Review

This is an outstanding contribution to transportation history, one that is genuinely needed to both enrich and expose the core scholarly resources available in the field. Especially noteworthy is the attention to previously neglected topics: stagecoaches, paddle boats, canal transport, and buses, making this work a unique source for the study of transportation in the US.
