Synopsis

How freight rates shaped Colorado’s early industry and growth—and what that means for readers today.

This nonfiction work examines how shipping costs created winners and losers among Denver’s fledgling manufacturers in the late 19th century. It shows how higher costs for raw materials compared with finished goods limited expansion and influenced where firms could sell their products.

• See how specific commodities, like excelsior, mattresses, and furniture, were affected by discriminatory rates.
• Understand the interplay between railroad policy, law, and the regional economy in shaping a city’s industrial prospects.
• Learn about the challenges Denver faced as a distribution point and how rate changes altered business decisions.
• Get a clear sense of the broader impact on Colorado’s growth and the local manufacturing landscape during this era.

Ideal for readers interested in economic history, transportation policy, and how infrastructure shape markets in a developing region.
