Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Railroad Fuels Westward Expansion (1870s)

Pages : 52
Book Description
There was once a time when the idea of a transcontinental railroad was considered foolish—a waste of time and resources. After all, what use was a railroad through the desolate regions of western America? However, as the United States began to expand and more and more settlers made their way west by horseback or covered wagon, the concept of a railroad spanning the country made more and more sense. Finally, in the midst of an epic civil war, President Abraham Lincoln signed the law that called for the building of a transcontinental railroad. There were many obstacles for the railroad builders to overcome. Harsh weather, mountains, hostile attacks, and even a lack of manpower were just some of the problems that had to be overcome. However, eventually the railroad builders triumphed, and finally train whistles could be heard echoing over the once quiet landscape of the western United States.

Book Description
Excerpt from Westward by Rail: The New Route to the East Although two series of letters, tie one entitled 'New York to San Francisco' the other 'A Visit to the Mormons' which recently appeared in The Daily News, form the basis of this volume, yet those who have perused these letters will find that the revision they have undergone is so thorough, and the additions made to them are so considerable, as to constitute the volume itself an entirely new work in substance, if not in name. Like the famous stockings of Sir John Cutler, these productions now resemble, in general outline only, that which they were originally. Seldom, indeed, should contributions to newspapers be reprinted precisely as they were when first published. A journalist must adapt himself to his readers if he would gain their confidence and produce a vivid and lasting impression.
