Synopsis
In this railroad history, a noted historian tells the story of the construction of America's transcontinental railroad. Ambrose describes how the idea was conceived in the 1830s, and organizes his story by individual rail lines, telling how each met the specific challenges posed by nature in each state or region until the lines were completed and joined in 1869.

New York Times Book Review - Henry Kisor (09/17/2000)

'[B]y asking brisk down-to-earth questions [Ambrose] was able to write a brisk account of how the transcontinental railroad was built...."
