EH.R: Use of Slave Labor in Southern Railroad Construction

Sat Apr 5 22:59:29 EDT 2008

Colleagues

I recall hearing once that a South Carolina railroad did not use slaves in its construction because too many would die in the process. Maybe one of you railroad buffs could point me to a source.

Thanks.
