Civil War Railroads by George B. Abdill

This book is a pictorial story of the war between the states, 1861 - 1865.  Civil War Railroads, with its actual scenes of The Iron Horse at war, brings together two revolutionary nineteenth-century technologies: railroads and photography.  These remarkable photos, combined with George B. Abdill's renowned story-telling ability, make this book unique.  Originally published in 1961, it has been out of print for years.  Thanks to advances in photograph-scanning technology, Indiana University Press is proud to issue this new edition, with photographic reproductions of even higher quality than those in the original.
