INTRODUCTION
The United States
in the years just before the birth of the 20th century was abubble with pride and confidence in itself. Seemingly overnight, the nation's mastery of the Industrial Revolution had made it a world economic and military leader. Its mills and factories were producing goods at a pace and quality that had become the envy of the globe.
Lacing together this burgeoning industrial empire was a rapidly expanding system of railroads, with most of the big trunk lines engaged in a fierce competition for power and wealth.
