Kelly Reynolds follows Henry Plant through some of the most exciting days in America's history, when the communication revolution truly began, and when hard-won advances in transportation helped heal a nation torn by bitter division and strife. Henry Plant: Pioneer Empire Builder tells the story of a man who made doing business a daily adventure, and who made his own and everybody's dreams come true. This book, the first modern biography of the founder, provides the inside story on the often risky building and consolidation of the ultimately triumphant Plant System.
