I purchased this from the University Friends of the Library to reserve for the Non-Fiction VBB. As always it looks really interesting so I will have to hurry and read it before I have to give it away!

I am FINALLY sending this off to booklady331. With the holidays and lots of visitors it got buried in my pile of TBR books. My apologies for the delay. She chose this from the Non Fiction VBB and I am sending it on it's way today. It's really an interesting book and one I hope you will enjoy too.

Thank you for sharing this book with me. I do enjoy historical reads.

This book is about the men who built the transcontinental Railroad and the building of that road. This is a very informative book. There were lots of problem - route, finances, man labor, building problems, etc. Without the Chinese, the railroad may never have been built. This book covers many aspects of the history surrounding the transcontinental railroad,. The reader learns about the Big Four men who were instrumental in bringing it to fruition. It's a slice of American history that changed America. I am glad that I read it.

Enjoy! Sending back to Readertoo. Thanks for sharing this book with me.
