FOLLOW THE FLAG: A HISTORY OF THE WABASH RAILROAD CO.
|
Grant, 2004, NIU Press, 291p, HD.
|
"Follow the Flag" offers the first authoritative history of the Wabash Railroad Company, a once vital interregional carrier.
The corporate saga of the Wabash involved the efforts of strong-willed and creative leaders, but this book provides more than traditional business history.
Noted transportation historian H. Roger Grant captures the human side of the Wabash, ranging from the medical doctors who created an effective hospital department to the worker-sponsored social events.
And Grant has not ignored the impact the Wabash had on businesses and communities in the "Heart of America."
