Books by Maury Klein

To Americans living in the early twentieth century, E.H. Harriman was as familiar a name as J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. Like his fellow businessmen, Harriman (1847-1909) had become the symbol for an entire industry: railroads. Maury Klein offers the first in-depth biography in more than seventy-five years of this influential yet surprisingly understudied figure.

The Union Pacific lays the groundwork for modern industry in America.

Presents the history of the railroad that connected the coasts and unified the United States.
