Profiting from the Plains: The Great Northern Railway and Corporate Development of the American West Год выпуска: 2007Автор: Claire StromИздательство: Страниц: 240ISBN: 0295986638Описание Profiting from the Plains looks at two inextricably linked historical movements in the United States: the westward expansion of the Great Northern Railway and the agricultural development of the northern plains. Claire Strom explores the persistent, idiosyncratic attempts by the Great Northern to boost agricultural production along its rail routes from St. Paul to Seattle between 1878 and 1917. Lacking a federal land grant, the Great Northern could not make money through land sales like other railways. It had to rely on haulage to make a profit, and the greatest potential for increasing haulage lay in farming. The energetic and charismatic owner of the Great Northern Railway, James J. Hill, spearheaded most of the initiatives undertaken by his corporation to boost agricultural production. As the first scholarly examination of Hill's agricultural enterprises, Profiting from the Plains makes an important contribution to western and environmental history.
