In an era dominated by huge railroad corporations, Indianapolis Union and Belt Railroads reveals the important role two small railroad companies had on development and progress in the Hoosier State.

Little Cities of Black Diamonds
ISBN: 9781531639099 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sitting astride the 14-foot Great Vein of bituminous coal, the communities of the Hocking Valley Coalfield were inextricably linked to the fortunes of a 50-year coal boom. Life in the Little Cities of Black Diamonds was not always easy or prosperous.

Little Cities of Black Diamonds takes an intimate look at the miners, merchants,...

Over more than two centuries, Cincinnati evolved from a riverside settlement in the wilderness to a major center of business, commerce, and manufacturing.
