| The railroads were crucial to American
industrialism and the rise of "big business." Theodore Roosevelt's struggle with the railroads was the central legislative battle of progressivism, setting the pattern for the regulatory state in the United States. This volume consists of a narrative and analytical historical essay in which the author has identified the choices he believes were available to the decision makers. Part Two contains appropriate documents that illustrate the alternatives. Part Three offers further
guidance in the form of a bibliographic essay. |
