The L&N Railroad in the Civil War: A Vital North-South Link and the Struggle to Control It - Softcover
Synopsis
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad was completed just as the first salvos of the Civil War erupted. As one of the few railroads linking the North and South, the L&N was valuable to both the Union and the Confederacy. Consequently, its route became a fiercely contested corridor of fire and blood. This history recounts the numerous military events along the L&N in the years 1861 through 1865, and also examines the still-resonant theme of the relationship between a major corporation and the government during a time of national crisis.

Review
"Lee provides an accurate history of the railroad...well written and easy to read." --Civil War News
"Discusses the profiteering actions of the L&N's owner, Lee Guthrie, and his ties to the Lincoln administration that led to lucrative contracts and special concessions...question[s] the relative weights of patriotism and capitalist greed in some sectors of the war effort." --Reference & Research Book News.
