The Chatham Railroad, by Robert A. Wiesner

Tracing the 16-year history of the Chatham Railroad, this booklet contributes to an understanding of the tumultuous economic affairs of North Carolina in the years preceding and during the Civil War era. Included are photographs of the main figures and a little-known map of 1858 showing proposed rail routes to the Deep River coal fields. (8.5" x 11", 54 pages, soft cover)
