A War Fought Around and on This Railroad; A Railroad that Also Had the Distinction of Performing the 'Marriage of Waters,' Read About it
Memphis, TN (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- In the 1830’s, in a small town in Alabama called Tuscumbia, cotton businessmen brought a short line Railroad into fruition, during a time when Indian life was still very prevalent, making it the first railroad chartered west of the Alleghenies, and ultimately the first Railroad to link the Mississippi River Valley with the Atlantic sea coast at Charleston, S. C. Early in this book are described the efforts of many notable men of the 1830’s thru the 1850’s to both convince a skeptical population on the value and need of a Railroad, and in the actual trials and tribulations of building this Railroad to be finally called the Memphis and Charleston railroad.
