The Growth Strategies of Southern Railroads, 1865-1893*

Maury Klein and Kozo Yamamura

Business History Review, 1967, vol. 41, issue 4, 358-377

Abstract: Railroads were unquestionably a leading sector of economic development in the American South following the Civil War. By appraising the growth strategies followed by southern roads as functions of their profitability, the authors illustrate how the supply of regional transport in the South was patterned by the decisions of competing groups of businessmen.
