About This Item
Dekalb, IL: Northern Illinios University Press, 2006. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Fine/Very Fine. VF/VF/1st ed. When the Southern Railway dissolved the corporation and abandoned much of the former trackage, the G&F became the "Gone & Forgotten." Yet in its 57-year lifespan the G&F did much to bring about agricultural diversification and relative prosperity in the wiregrass region of southern Georgia and northern Florida. Offering insignts on social and economic conditions in the South from the 19th century to the mid-20th century, Grant's study of this obsure yet noteworthy railroad will appeal to those interested in transportation, business, railroad, and Southern regional history. Book Condition is Very Fine; black cloth over boards with gold lettering on spine. 223pp., First Edition. B&W photos, notes, maps, index. Book and dust jacket are as brand new. Jacket covered with a mylar dust jacket.
