Triumph VI: Pioneer and Challenger, the Titanic Struggle for the Ohio River and Maryland that Kindled the Creation of a Vast Superpower

by Charles S. Roberts, David Messer

"The first 'War Between the States' encompassed Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania as B&O and PRR battled for supremacy. This dramatic high adventure story was complete with Giants, Geniuses, Knaves, and Blunderers. PRR won by acquiring fabled railroads like the PW&B, NC, B&P, and a host of others, tumbling B&O from first to third in the great trunkline conflict. Yet, after 150 years, PRR's crown has grown thorns. "This, the sixth volume in our 'TRIUMPH' history series, fetures 400 pages and includes about 685 maps, illustrations and photos (28 in full color), almost all of which are published for the first time. "Hard Library binding, five-color cover, enamel paper, 8.5 x 11" format.
