Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On December 23, 1852, the first train on the first railroad west of the Mississippi River steamed proudly from St. Louis to Cheltenham-the immense distance of five miles. In that moment of exaltation, writes Robert Edgar Riegel, 'flags waved, bands played, and orators prophesied the flowering of the West under the beneficent influence of the steam locomotive. For once the orators were right. An epoch was marked. Twenty-five years earlier the musical whistle of the locomotive was as yet unheard in the United States. Twenty-five years later steel tracks spanned the continent from New York to San Francisco.'In this account of the railroad conquest of the United States, the author is primarily concerned with the western phase of the story. He follows the Iron Horse west through Indian trouble, labor difficulties, civil war, and farmer disillusionment to the completion of the western railroad net. All aspects of the subject-financial, industrial, engineering, as well as the development of railroad regulation-are covered in this classic work.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Story of the Western Railroads From 1852 Through the Reign of the Giants' offers a comprehensive and scholarly account of the transformative era when iron rails first bridged the vast distances of the American frontier. Author Robert Edgar Riegel meticulously details the financial, political, and engineering challenges that defined the period between 1852 and the early 20th century-a time characterized by the rise of legendary industrial titans and the rapid integration of the Western territories into the national economy.The work explores the early legislative battles, the monumental construction efforts of the transcontinental lines, and the subsequent competition that shaped the modern American landscape. Riegel examines the profound impact of the railroad on settlement patterns, agricultural development, and the eventual closing of the frontier. By chronicling the 'reign of the giants,' the book provides critical insight into the corporate strategies and monumental ambitions of the men who drove the expansion of the rail networks.This historical study remains a vital resource for understanding the logistical and economic foundations of the American West. It captures the spirit of an age marked by unprecedented growth, industrial innovation, and the relentless drive toward continental connectivity.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
