World History Series - Building the Transcontinental Railroad
By James Barter.
Description
Dynamiting through granite mountains and surviving Indian attacks to lay the first iron rails across America are only two of the reasons the transcontinental railroad is considered America's greatest engineering achievement of the 19th century. The reasons tens of thousands of men labored with sledge hammers and dynamite to link the East and West and the impact this fabled railroad had on the face of America will forever be fascinating historical topics. - from Amzon
