Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the story of James Weeks, a self-made millionaire railroad tycoon, who fought bravely in the Civil War.

Using his experience and understanding of business, Weeks battled against fierce competition during the Granger movement, which nearly destroyed Western railroads. Weeks's business practices were based on preserving the main interests of his shareholders, a practice not common in the post-Civil War era when corruption and greed ran rampant.
