Download or read book Iron Horses written by Verla Kay and published by G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome aboard! Travel back in time to join the workers of the Union Pacific Railroad as they pounded west and those from the Central Pacific Railroad as they charged east to build the first transcontinental rail line in the United States. They were racing to meet in Utah, and it was high drama all the way. Workers had to burst through rocky outcrops while hanging in baskets and sleep in tents on top of railroad cars or in barracks buried in snow. Bouncy, short verse highlights the steps it took to finally bring the tracks together, and powerful illustrations capture the landscape and the labor.

Download or read book Iron Horses written by Walter R. Borneman and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals. After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on. The prize: a better, shorter, less snowy route through the American Southwest, linking Los Angeles to Chicago. In Iron Horses, Borneman recounts the rivalries, contested routes, political posturing, and business dealings that unfolded as an increasing number of lines pushed their way across the country. Borneman brings to life the legendary robber barons behind it all and also captures the herculean efforts required to construct these roads -- the laborers who did the back-breaking work, the brakemen who ran atop moving cars, the tracklayers crushed and killed by runaway trains. From backroom deals in Washington, DC, to armed robberies of trains in the wild deserts, from cattle cars to streamliners and Super Chiefs, all the great incidents and innovations of a mighty American era are made vivid in Iron Horses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is illustrated. This book contains a story founded largely on facts, and is intended to illustrate some of the more salient points and interesting circumstances connected with the railway system of this kingdom. It makes no pretension whatever to give a comprehensive, much less a complete, view of a subject which, in its details, I conceive to be almost inexhaustible. To the various managers, superintendents, clerks, drivers, guards, and porters of the several railway companies from whom much of my information has been derived, I now tender my most sincere thanks for the kindness and ready assistance I have received at their hands. Edinburgh, 1871. R. M. BALLANTYNE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems confronting Hal Houck and his sister Iris are all but crushing in number and complications. The bad luck began when Iris had been engaged to marry Will Ainsley, a man more than twice her age. Before their wedding day, he got drunk and shot his pistol wildly. One bullet struck Cal in his leg, paralyzing it. Although Iris was still receptive to Will, Rafe, a neighbor, wanted her for himself. When Iris refused even to see him, Rafe brought Cal up short by telling him that the lease was up on the range where his 300 horses roamed. Cal and Iris had 10 days to get the horses off the range or he would begin shooting. Among the horses was the thorough bred they called the Iron Horse. When Cal asked Will for help, he agreed to join forces in an apparently losing battle. The two begin rounding up the horses and pitting their endurance, knowledge and determination against the elements. For their part, Rafe and his brothers join with the forces to work against them.
