Description

Hearing the rapacious power of Chicago's railroad system in the mid-1800s. Iowa Central Railway supporters fought for a north-south route across the state that would link Minneapolis and St. Paul with St. Louis. Such a route would put the needs of Iowa's citizens first and provide transportation for the state's agricultural and industrial trade.
Drawing the story from station records, annual reports, newspaper articles, and interviews with former employees, The Hook & Eye brings both the industrial and human sides of railroading into sharp and memorable view.
Hardcover; Author: Don L. Hofsommer
