by David E. Paterson

A Frontier Link with the World is the history of one small company which operated a track sixteen miles long and served essentially one community. This company shared significant characteristics with its much larger neighbors, and therefore serves as a microcosm depicting the interrelationships between the corporate activities of a Georgia railroad and the economic and social history of the community it served.

This book explores the market forces that determined why and where the South's first railroads would be built and the problems of raising investment capital in the South.
