Virginia Railroads in the Civil War

By Angus James Johnston

Johnston ably demonstrates the major contribution of captured Virginia railroads to the ever-increasing prowess of the northern armies in the state and also describes the new techniques of warfare introduced by the Confederates, beginning with their launching of the first full-scale raids of the war against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the Shenandoah Valley.
