OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Asa Whitney was an American manufacturer, inventor, railroad executive and politician. He became a blacksmith like his father. In 1812, he removed to New Hampshire. After a short time, his employer sent him to Brownsville, New York to supervise the installation of machinery at a cotton factory, and Whitney remained in New York. About 1830, he was hired by the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad to make machinery and railway carriages, and after a few years became Superintendent of the line. In February 1840, he was elected by the New York State Legislature as one of the Erie Canal commissioners, and remained in office until 1842 when the Democratic majority removed the Whig commissioners.
