Stories of the Great Railroads (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

Rail interests tried to suppress Russell’s muckraking accounts of the industry even before they were published. This 1912 collection of magazine articles about monopoly, financial speculation, mismanagement, price-fixing, and cavalier neglect of worker safety includes “The Romance of Death Avenue,” “Speaking of Widows and Orphans,” and “What the Law Does for Us.”
