The Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts: Its Blunders, Mismanagement and Corruption is a book written by Charles Wilson Felt in 1873. The book is a detailed account of the Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts, which was one of the major railroads in the state during the mid-19th century. Felt’s work is a scathing critique of the railroad’s management, highlighting the numerous instances of mismanagement, corruption, and incompetence that plagued the company during its early years. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the Eastern Railroad, including its construction, financing, and operation. Felt describes how the railroad was initially built with great promise and optimism, but soon fell victim to a series of blunders and missteps that ultimately led to its downfall. He also discusses the role of various individuals and groups in the railroad’s management, including the board of directors, the company’s president, and the state government. Throughout the book, Felt provides numerous examples of the Eastern Railroad’s mismanagement and corruption, including instances of financial fraud, nepotism, and cronyism. He also describes how the railroad’s poor management led to numerous accidents and safety violations, putting the lives of passengers and employees at risk. Overall, The Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts: Its Blunders, Mismanagement and Corruption is a fascinating historical account of one of the most important railroads in Massachusetts during the mid-19th century. Felt’s work provides valuable insights into the challenges and pitfalls of early railroad management, and serves as a cautionary tale for future generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
