Way, Peter. Common Labor: Workers and the Digging of North American Canals, 1780-1860. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993.
Notes: This is a comprehensive examination of the digging of North American canals and the ensuing conflicts between labor and management. Working conditions and the organization of work changed drastically between 1780 and 1860. Much of the labor was provided by Irish workers, who were considered to be more expendable than slaves in the Middle Atlantic states. While other studies focus on their propensity to riot and fight amongst themselves in the 1830s, Way argues that this was due less to ethnic rivalries than to economic conditions and management's shabby treatment of labor. The records of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company provide much of the information upon which this study is based.

Bender, Thomas. "Law, Economy, and Social Values in Jacksonian America: A Maryland Case Study." Maryland Historical Magazine 71 (Winter 1976): 484-97.
Notes: Bender examines the legal and economic assumptions underlying the conflict between the Chesapeake Canal Company and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the 1820s and 1830s to illustrate his argument about the triumph of "modernization" in the period. The conflict pitted the interests of the canal company to protect rights granted to it by its prior charter for westward development against the interests of the railroad in developing a competitive alternative. While the Maryland Court of Appeals applied conservative assumptions in ruling for the former, supporting the principle of monopoly, the state legislature, believing that competition advanced the interests of the state, applied "modernization" assumptions to force a compromise which permitted the railroad to proceed.

Fee, Elizabeth, Linda Shopes, and Linda Zeidman, eds. The Baltimore Book: New Views of Local History. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1991.
Notes: Essays on aspects of the social history of Baltimore provide case studies of social issues and neighborhood dynamics. Paired chapters first consider the lives of ordinary B&O Railroad workers involved in the railroad strike of 1877, then examine the powerful family of B&O magnate John Work Garrett. Chapters on work consider the area's mill villages, the garment industry, and union activity. Studies of neighborhoods address the history of Fells Point in terms of race and ethnicity and racial change in west Baltimore.
