Book excerpt: Excerpt from How We Built the Union Pacific Railway, and Other Railway Papers and Addresses In 1836 the first public meeting to consider the project of a Pacific railway was called by John Plumbe, a civil engineer of Dubuque, Iowa. Interest in a Pacific railway increased from this time. The explorations of Fremont in 1842 and 1846 brought the attention of Congress, and A. C. Whitney was zealous and efficient in the cause from 1840 to 1850. The first practical measure was Senator Salmon P. Chase's bill, making an appropriation for the explorations of different routes for a Pacific railway in 1853. Numerous bills were introduced in Congress between 1852 and 1860, granting subsidies and lands, and some of them appropriating as large a sum as $96,000,000 for the construction of the road. One of these bills passed one of the houses of Congress. The results of the explorations ordered by Congress were printed in eleven large volumes, covering the country between the parallels of latitude thirty-second on the south and forty-ninth on the north, and demonstrating the feasibility of building a Pacific railway, but at a cost on any one of the lines much larger than the Union Pacific and Central Pacific were built for. It is a singular fact that in all these explorations the most feasible line in an engineering and commercial point of view, the line with the least obstacles to overcome, of lowest grades and least curvature was never explored and reported on. Private enterprise explored and developed that line along the forty-second parallel of latitude. This route was made by the buffalo, next used by the Indians, then by the fur traders, next by the Mormons, and then by the overland immigration to California and Oregon. It was known as the Great Platte Valley Route. On this trail, or close to it, was built the Union and Central Pacific Railroads to California, and the Oregon Short Line branch of the Union Pacific to Oregon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building the Pacific Railway Fifty years have passed since most of the events noted within this volume were new. On May lo, 1869, at Promontory Point, fifty-six miles northwest of Ogden, Utah, the last rails were laid and the last spike was driven, completing the Pacific Railway for quick traffic between the East and the West. Two distinct books might be written upon the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad from the Missouri River, and of the Central Pacific Railroad from the Sacramento River - those iron trails that lengthened westward and eastward until they crossed the vacant space of 1770 miles and joined in the Utah desert. The one book should focus upon the actual building operations in the great open of plains, mountains and deserts; the other, upon the financial operations by the Credit Mobilier of the Union Pacific, and by Crocker & Co. and the Finance Company of the Central Pacific. The pages which here follow aim at providing the first-mentioned story. They are devoted mainly to the stress, the sweat, the toil by mind and body in order to achieve the physical problems. Deeds and romance a-plenty may be found, without resort to those disputed details that once made great names common property and are now relatively unimportant. That past is dead; an undying path brightens in the swath of Time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union Pacific Railway: Eastern Division, Or, Three Thousand Miles in a Railway Car The following pages contain the record of a journey made by a party of gentlemen from Philadelphia to Kansas and back, during the month of November, 1866. The object of the excursion was to examine the condition of the Union Pacific Railway, Eastern Division, to assemble in council, at Leavenworth, those who were specially interested in it, and to make such scientific and industrial researches along the route as might be of advantage to the enterprise. How this was effected has already been laid before the public in several prominent journals. The writer has taken pains in these letters to depict, as truthfully as possible, his experience and impressions of this very interesting journey. As the condition of that grand national enterprise, the Pacific Railway, was the principal subject of discussion by the tourists, the facts thus evolved form, of course, the subject matter of the series. As for the rest, he has done his utmost to set forth how he and his friends passed their time during their trip of three thousand miles in a railroad car, and what were his real feelings at the time. His chief object in republishing these letters - written originally for Forney's Press, of Philadelphia has been to express, in a collected and somewhat more durable form, a slight tribute of his gratitude to the gentlemen of the company to whose general kindness and personal courtesy he is indebted for having passed as pleasant a month as it was ever his fortune to enjoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Union Pacific Railway: A Study in Railway Politics, History, and Economics The work of the student of history has heretofore been confined almost wholly to the political, religious and liter ary development of peoples; their industrial development has been subjected to inexcusable neglect. Yet the pillars of the dominance of the anglo-saxon race are its superior industrial attributes. What a people accomplishes industrially and how it accomplishes it. Go far to determine how it will be governed, what it will think and feel, and what it will write. The freedom of the individual that was the product of the eighteenth century has been more emphatically man ifested in the field of industry than in any other field of human activity. The growth of constitutional government in England is easily traced to the want of harmony be tween the Old political status and the newly developed indus trial status of English society. The increasing tendency to submit international disputes to arbitration is attributable not so much to a more enlightened repugnance to warfare as to the mere human fear of destruction of wealth and interfer ence with industries occasioned by it. The Annapolis Con vention had its origin in the desire of the American states TO consider how far a uniform system in their commer Cial relations might be necessary to their common inter ests. The slavery question was largely an industrial ques tion, and its solution was industrial, not political or moral.
