W. W. Norton & Company, 2011-05-31. Hardcover. Like New. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Corners bumped. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "Richard White is one of those rare historians with an unfailing ability to transform any topic he writes about, no matter how familiar that topic might seem. In Railroaded, he tells the story of the western transcontinentals as it has never been told before, with insights that speak as much to our own time as to the nineteenth-century era he explores with such wit and intelligence." - William Cronon
