The last half of the 19th Century in America was a period of unequalled economic growth and the period of the notorious Robber Barons. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), the largest business corporation in the world at that time, was the most attractive target for these titans of industry and finance. The clashes of these titans with the professional managers of the PRR, who lived mostly on the Main Line, are among our most fascinating history.
