Beschreibung

America was in effect a thin ribbon of land along the Eastern coast until the steam railroad allowed our nation to unfurl across the vast inland territory. Here Albro Martin provides a fascinating history of rail transportation in America, giving readers a real sense of the railroad's importance to our country. 30 halftones.
