"Think of it as a nation." At the end of the nineteenth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the largest privately owned business corporation in the world. In 1914, the PRR employed more than two hundred thousand people-more than double the number of soldiers in the United States Army. As the self-proclaimed "Standard Railroad of the World," this colossal corporate body underwrote American industrial expansion and shaped the economic, political, and social environment of the United States. In turn, the PRR was fundamentally shaped by the American landscape, adapting to geography as well as shifts in competitive economics and public policy. Albert J. Churella's masterful account, certain to become the authoritative history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, illuminates broad themes in American history, from the development of managerial practices and labor relations to the relationship between business and government to advances in technology and transportation. Churella situates exhaustive archival research on the Pennsylvania Railroad within the social, economic, and technological changes of nineteenth- and twentieth-century America, chronicling the epic history of the PRR intertwined with that of a developing nation. This first volume opens with the development of the Main Line of Public Works, devised by Pennsylvanians in the 1820's to compete with the Erie Canal. Though a public rather than a private enterprise, the Main Line foreshadowed the establishment of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1846. Over the next decades, as the nation weathered the Civil War, industrial expansion, and labor unrest, the PRR expanded despite competition with rival railroads and disputes with such figures as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. The dawn of the twentieth century brought a measure of stability to the railroad industry, enabling the creation of such architectural monuments as Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The volume closes at the threshold of American involvement in World War I, as the strategies that PRR executives had perfected in previous decades proved less effective at guiding the company through increasingly tumultuous economic and political waters. 410 0$aAmerican business, politics, and society. 606 $aHISTORY / United States / 19th Century$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / 19th Century. 676 $a385.09748 700 $aChurella$b Albert J.$f1964-$0920974 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452928303321 996 $aThe Pennsylvania Railroad$92446723 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02726nam 2200661 450 001 9910463394703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4422-7524-3 010 $a1-4422-3004-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000587923 035 $a(EBL)1901099 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001401411 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12539541 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001401411 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11350296 035 $a(PQKB)10650650 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1901099 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1901099 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11025400 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL682730 035 $a(OCoLC)898476730 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000587923 100 $a20141201h20152015 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aArchaeology, sexism, and scandal $ethe long-suppressed story of one woman's discoveries and the man who stole credit for them /$fAlan Kaiser 210 1$aLanham, Maryland :$cRowman & Littlefield,$d[2015] 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (273 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4422-3003-7 311 $a1-322-51448-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction: the Ellingson file: a photo album -- Part I.
