More about the book
Fascinating history of seven prominent Americans and the role they played in promoting (sometimes successfully, oftentimes not) the growth of railroads in Mexico during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Chapters discuss William S. Rosecrans, Edward Lee Plumb, Albert Kimsey Owen, Ulysses S. Grant, "Boss" Alexander R. Shepherd, Wiliam C. Greene, and Arthur E. Stilwell. The book is relevant not only for the light it shines on the development of Mexican railroads but also for its insights into development in today's Third World nations. 321 pages. This book won the 1957 Beveridge Award from the American Historical Association.
