Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Illinois-Central Railroad: Together With a Brief Biographical Record of Its Incorporators and Some of Its Early Officers The following sketches contain a statement of facts and incidents, which have occurred for the most part within the recollection of the writer - who was connected with the company, in various capacities, for a period of nearly thirty-two years - or have been gathered from reliable sources, relating to an important work in the history of the State which seem to him worth preserving. He trusts that they will prove of interest to the class of readers who will be likely to peruse a paper of this character. Though frequent reference has been made in the past, in various forms as to the effect upon the physical and financial resources of Illinois by reason of the construction of the Illinois - Central Railroad at a critical period in the history of the State, still it is doubtful whether such stress has been laid upon the subject as either to do justice to the projectors, or enable the people of Illinois to realize fully, the present and prospective benefit conferred. Portions of this paper have already appeared in a pamphlet entitled "Early Illinois Railroads," but in order to preserve the chronological order of events in treating of the Illinois - Central Railroad proper, it was deemed necessary to repeat them here.
