"Thomas O'Donnell has told, out of careful research, the story of the conception of the railroad, and of the fancy ruses resorted to by various Mohawk Valley communities to get the terminalship of the road to be, of how Utica finally got the nod, of how necessary capital was shaken out of reluctant pockets, of the superb job done by the corps of competent engineers, and of times when frantic moves had to be made to keep the road out of bankruptcy."

Good condition. Dust jacket has large tear and chipping to the lower right front cover. Sticker wear to the dust jacket interior front flap near the price. Spotting to the top of the page block. Interior pages clean and crisp. Solid copy with shelf wear.
