Founding of the Cincinnati Southern Railway : With an Autobiographical Sketch (Classic Reprint) by Edward Alexander Ferguson

Excerpt from Founding of the Cincinnati Southern Railway: With an Autobiographical Sketch With the exception of the autobiographical sketch this work is a compilation from various scattered sources. It is not a history of the efforts made before the passage of the Ferguson Act to get a railway from Cincinnati to the South Atlantic Seaboard or to the south. Incidentally allusions are made to these efforts. It begins with the drafting of the Ferguson Bill and ends with a short account of the grand banquet given by the citizens of Cincinnati on March 18, 1880, upon the opening of the Cincinnati Southern Railway for traffic between its termini, the city of Cincinnati, and the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a distance of 336 miles. From the dissertation of Mr. J. H. Hollander, a student at the Johns Hopkins University, presented to the Board of University Studies for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, I have taken and used, with his and the University's consent, the chapter on "The Necessity of the Railway" and that on "Legislation and Litigation." After the degree was conferred on him, his dissertation was published in January, 1894, in the Twelfth Series of the Johns Hopkins University Studies, with the title, "The Cincinnati Southern Railway, a Study in Municipal Activity." Dr. Hollander spent several months in making a thorough investigation of the subject of his essay. In matter, thought and style it is believed to be unexcelled by any similar dissertation.
