This book chronicles the history of the construction of transcontinental railroads in the United States. Beginning with the early explorations and surveys of possible routes, the author traces the development of the various railroad lines that eventually connected the east and west coasts. The book explores the technological challenges, political debates, and financial difficulties that accompanied this massive undertaking. It also examines the social and economic impact of the railroads, including the growth of towns and cities, the development of new industries, and the movement of people westward. The book concludes by assessing the legacy of the transcontinental railroads and their enduring impact on the American landscape.
