The Government and the Railroad Corporations is a book written by Charles Francis Adams in 1871. The book explores the relationship between the government and the railroad corporations during a time when the railroad industry was rapidly expanding in the United States. Adams, a prominent lawyer and politician, discusses the various ways in which the government has interacted with the railroad corporations, including the granting of land and financial aid. He also delves into the controversial issue of government regulation of the railroad industry, arguing that while some regulation is necessary, too much can be detrimental to both the industry and the economy as a whole. The book provides a detailed historical account of the development of the railroad industry in the United States and its impact on American society and politics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation, government-business relations, and the development of the American economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Who better to discuss the origins and problems of late 19th century railroads than witty, erudite, Charles Francis Adams, Jr.? As a railroad executive, he knew the business intimately. As an Adams, he understood the politics and men of his time and could write about them in the most entertaining and enlightening manner possible. Charles Adams had been a colonel in the Union Army during the Civil War. At that time, his father was Lincoln's Minister to England and his young brother was the future author of what is still regarded as one of the great nonfiction books of the 20th century, "The Education of Henry Adams." Those three men also had two U.S. Presidents in their lineage. Altogether a fascinating and entertaining book. "...in this day of hasty generalization, it will not do to forget that these are the conclusions of the man who has given more study than any other to the railroad problem, and is the best qualified man in this country to discuss it authoritatively. None can read it without profit and nobody who desires to think intelligently about railroads should neglect to do so.-THE NEW YORK TIMES
