The Reformer Reformed: John H. Reagan and Railroad Regulation

Gerald Nash

Business History Review, 1955, vol. 29, issue 2, 189-196

Abstract: The changing attitude toward railroad regulation of reformer John H. Reagan tells much about the validity of the objections raised by railroadmen of the 1880's to such regulation. In tracing Reagan's career thus, a question of historiography is raised. Can careful utilization of contemporary attitudes toward business situations compensate for the subjectivity of the historian himself?
