El ferrocarril transcontinental (The Transcontinental Railroad)

Resumen del Libro

People today refer to the Midwestern and prairie states as flyover country.

An act of Congress in 1862 authorized the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific railroad companies to build a railroad that would link the coasts. Seven years later, on May 10, 1869, an overwhelmingly immigrant labor force completed the task when a rail line was join in Promontory, Utah. The states had become united at last.
