About This Item
[Philadelphi, 1870. 2-29,[4]pp. Self-wrappers, stitched. Front wrapper detached, slight toning. Very good. The articles of incorporation of the famed northwest railroad that would later help build the fortune of railroad magnate James J. Hill. Built too quickly, the Northern Pacific traversed poor land and ran on ill- constructed rails. By 1896, the success of James J. Hill's Great Northern allowed Hill and his associated to buy the Northern Pacific and merge it with the Great Northern. Throughout the remaining industrial revolution and into the early 20th century, the Great Northern was the main transporter of lumber, coal, and taconite loads from their sources to St. Paul and Minneapolis, where they would continue east or be shipped by barge down the Mississippi
