About This Item
From front dust jacket flap: "There are few railroads that evoke the legends of early American railroading as do those that were joined at Promontory, Utah by the epochal driving of the 'golden spike.'
The Union Pacific formed the eastern portion of that historic union, and its story has grown with that of the United States itself. As the American frontier expanded across the continent, settlers bravely journeyed across the 'Great American Desert' in search of a better life on the West Coast."
This is the history of that transcontinental railroad.
