Interesting account of the various individuals and companies that drove the railroad network throughout the western U.S. A lot of names of people and companies - hard to keep track! Maybe a little too much detail, but also fascinating discussion of rivalries and teams. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
"After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the country was up for grabs, and the race was on. The prize: a better, shorter, less snowy route through the corridors of the American Southwest, linking Los Angeles to Chicago. In Rival Rails, Borneman lays out in compelling detail the sectional rivalries, contested routes, political posturing, and ambitious business dealings that unfolded as an increasing number of lines pushed their way across the country" --Cover, p. 2.
