Papers of John D. Imboden [manuscript], 1880-1881.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647820542

Imboden informs E. K. Hyndman of Connelsville, Pa., that a continuation of the Bristol Coal and Iron Narrow Gauge Railroad has been chartered. Topics include the legality of the company's land titles in Wise County, problems with squatters, the history of the B.C. & I.N.G.R.R. and its conflict with General Mahone over ownership of the right of way particularly in regard to an old Virginia and Kentucky roadbed, the necessity for regrading the line's route, convict labor, and plans to take possession of disputed land. Abram Fulkerson is mentioned. The collection also includes a "Report on the lands of the Tinsalia Coal and Iron Co. in South-West Virginia" and "Prospectus and a charter of the Tinsalia Coal and Iron Company," with a geological report on the coal and iron.
