Railroads of Lawrence, Kansas by I. E. Quastler
Quastler’s book is a study based on his University of Kansas graduate research about railroad “abandonments”, their corporate bankruptcies, commercial financial failures, and misdirected civic city-county leadership strategies. His research covers a 40+ year period from the 1850’s to the late 1890’s. Quastler’s research is anchored in many primary data sources from newspaper publications, civic meeting minute notes, and corporation meeting logs. His 36 selective book references and 16 selective article references form a foundation for his analysis of railroad.
