It would ultimately carry people and goods from the Lowcountry to what is now north Augusta. This volume by historian Thomas Fetters presents a fresh new look at the development and operations of America's premier railroad, including surprising information about key players and newly discovered stories about the railroad's role in the American Civil War. A comprehensive account of the Charleston \u0026amp; Hamburg's history from its inception through Reconstruction, The Charleston \u0026amp; Hamburg, with its forgotten stories of America's premier railroad, is a necessary addition to the bookshelves of historians and rail fans alike\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Fetters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540218430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540218438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Thomas Fetters","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938204188927,"sku":"9781540218438","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2882b21e-4ff0-46f5-8b19-536301215b95.jpg?v=1681434354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-charleston-hamburg-thomas-fetters-9781540218438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
