Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
IT WAS A LIFELINE AND A TRAIL OF DEATH In 1823, one long trail connected the backwater colony of Mexico with a booming America. Here, only the most daring, ambitious and lucky would survive--transporting goods at enormous risk and for bigger profit. One who made the trip was an orphan named Matt Collins. In Mexico, Matt came of age, made a fortune, chose a woman, and lived between two worlds... AND IT WAS THE WAY TO THE FUTURE Matt was both an outsider--an enterprising Yanqui--and the face of the future. As the Santa Fe colony was buffeted by chaos in Mexico, and threatened by Manifest Destiny from Washington, Matt was forced to choose between his two nations. War was brewing in Texas, and President Polk himself needed someone to lead New Mexico into the union--without a single shot being fired... SANTA FE PASSAGE This epic novel captures the forces of history, politics, nature and religion that forged a unique corner of the new world. At the foothills of the Sangre de Christo Mountains, Jon Bauman leads us among aristocrats, scoundrels and adventurers--as a man makes a choice that will shape the future of two countries... "A consummate storyteller...a scrupulous historian, Bauman faithfully recreates the powerful social and political forces that converged on New Mexico." --David J. Weber, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated The Spanish Frontier in North America "Beautifully researched...all woven into a memorable plot." --Jane Roberts Wood, author of Train to Estelline and Roseborough

Railroads and Land Grant Policy
Author: Lloyd J. Mercer
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483257991
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Railroads and Land Grant Policy: A Study in Government Intervention attempts to replace a major part of the railroad land grant legend (according to which the granting of federal and state land to private railroad firms benefitted these firms more than it contributed to society as a whole) with some real numbers and analysis. An attempt is made to put the income and wealth distribution impact of the railroad land grants in perspective, but thorough analysis of this issue is not undertaken. The primary question this study does try to illuminate is that of the effect of the railroad land grants on economic efficiency. This emphasis was chosen because it seems clear that improvement of economic efficiency was the major goal that Congress and various state legislatures sought to attain, and thus the examination of economic efficiency questions is fundamental to evaluation of railroad land grant policy. This study will not completely replace the railroad land grant legend (because much is not covered here), but it does represent a considerable diminution of that legend.
