AUTHOR

Noe, Kenneth W.

SUMMARY

This book examines the construction of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad through southwest Virginia in the 1850s, before the Civil War began. The building and operation of the railroad reoriented the economy of the region toward staple crops and slave labor. Thus, during the secession crisis, southwest Virginia broke with northwestern Virginia and embraced the Confederacy. Ironically, however, it was the railroad that brought waves of Union raiders to the area during the war.Noe, Kenneth W. is the author of 'Southwest Virginia's Railroad Modernization and the Sectional Crisis in the Civil War Era' with ISBN 9780817350642 and ISBN 0817350640.
