Nothing Like It In The World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1865-1869
by Stephen Ambrose
too much financial not enough human interest (12/12/2021)
This book is really, really long. Particularly with the how the Union Pacific and central pacific paid for the materials with Gov. Bonds. It is page after page of ex: bonds were bought at 10 dollars sold at 100, 280 return, dividends blah, blah, blah. Every chapter have about 5 pages of this. It’s incredible. I’m at page 315 and have 75 more to go. kind of like the rail workers, it’s a slog.
