Book excerpt: **2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Silver Winner for Western Non-Fiction** When the last spike was hammered into the steel track of the Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah, Western Union lines sounded the glorious news of the railroad’s completion from New York to San Francisco. For more than five years an estimated four thousand men mostly Irish working west from Omaha and Chinese working east from Sacramento, moved like a vast assembly line toward the end of the track. Editorials in newspapers and magazines praised the accomplishment and some boasted that the work that “was begun, carried on, and completed solely by men.” The August edition of Godey’s Lady’s Book even reported “No woman had laid a rail and no woman had made a survey.” Although the physical task of building the railroad had been achieved by men, women made significant and lasting contributions to the historic operation. However, the female connection with railroading dates as far back as 1838 when women were hired as registered nurses/stewardesses in passenger cars. Those ladies attended to the medical needs of travelers and also acted as hostesses of sorts helping passengers have a comfortable journey. Beyond nursing and service roles, however, women played a larger part in the actual creation of the rail lines than they have been given credit for. Miss E. F. Sawyer became the first female telegraph operator when she was hired by the Burlington Railroad in Montgomery, Illinois, in 1872. Eliza Murfey focused on the mechanics of the railroad, creating devices for improving the way bearings on a rail wheel attached to train cars responded to the axles. Murfey held sixteen patents for her 1870 invention. In 1879, another woman inventor named Mary Elizabeth Walton developed a system that deflected emissions from the smoke stacks on railroad locomotives. She was awarded two patents for her pollution reducing device. Their stories and many more are included in this illustrated volume celebrating women and the railroad.

Book excerpt: "The 1869 meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads at Promontory Summit (not Promontory Point, where it often is mistakenly placed) was, both literally and symbolically, a historical event of indisputable significance in American history." "Richard Francaviglia reviews May 10, 1869, and what led to that day, but from there his narrative launches into space and time to consider the geographic history of the event and where it occurred, on the spine of the lonely Promontory Range at the northern end of the Great Salt Lake. What we consequently learn is the stories of the transportation corridor that developed across Promontory and of the society of people who settled that remote, and frontier, many of them connected to the railroad. Francaviglia reaches back farther than 1869 and carries his story forward to the present, including the development of Golden Spike National Historic Site. At the center of his narrative is the conjunction of a unique area (the Promontory Mountains and the Great Salt Lake) and the impact and legacy, particularly regionally, of a special event. The growth of geographical knowledge linked these historical dimensions, as maps best show. A cartographic history of the Promontory Range, northern Utah, the railroad, and other transportation lines has an integral part in Francaviglia's account, and the book is copiously illustrated with color maps as well as historical and scenic photos."--BOOK JACKET.
