Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An American Railroad Builder: John Murray Forbes The present volume differs from the "Letters and Recollections of John Murray Forbes," published in 1899, not only in being an abridged biography, but in having been written to tell the story, merely outlined there, of the part played by Forbes in the development of the railroad system of the Middle West. He was president of the Michigan Central Railroad from 1840 to 1855; of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad be was director from 1857 to 1898, and president from 1878 to 1881. In these positions his work was preeminently that of obtaining capital and of maintaining a sound financial policy; the matters, to-day so important, of rate-making and relations with state and federal government practically never came within the scope of his control.
