About this Item
Description:
First edition of Turner's work on the role of the American railroad system in the military campaigns of the Civil War. Octavo, original cloth, cartographic endpapers, illustrated with photographs and maps by George Richard Turner. Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. Ownership inscription. Early in the Civil War both the North and South were confronted with an entirely new problem in logistics. It began to appear that important railroad junction points were to become major military objectives. Victory Rode the Rails portrays the decisive military advantage enjoyed by the side that controlled the railroads. It "remains the best introduction to the subject of railroads and military operations during the Civil War" (Gary Gallagher). Seller Inventory # 133073

Imperial octavo softcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples.
