Building of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad in Missouri Historical Review, Vol XXXXVI, No. 1, October, 1941. Article by Homer Clevenger. pp. 32-47. This article describes the State laws enacted and loans provided to establish a railroad from the Mississippi to Missouri's western border. It includes the difficulties with obtaining stock subscriptions and land and the challenge to approval of the less than conforming construction work. The railroad was completed from Hannibal to St. Joseph in February, 1859. It was the only Missouri railroad not to go into receivership in its first 30 years of existence.
