The Clinchfield Railroad: The Story Of A Trade Route Across The Blue Ridge Mountains

The story of the building of the Clinchfield Railroad reflects the dominant elements that have shaped the economic history of an important section of the southeastern states. It is the history of continuous efforts in a venture that was to be the backbone of a gigantic commercial system but that attained only the proportions of a short, highly specialized, local line.
