decades in which the United States effectively doubted in size, fought
three wars, and began to discover a new national identity. From self-
made entrepreneurs such as tha Union Pacific s Thomas
Durant
and the
Central Pacific s Collis
Huntington,
to era-defining figures such as
President Lincoln, Generals Grant and Sherman, Mark Twain, and Walt
Whitman, to the thousands of nameless laborers
—
especially the Irish and
Chinese
—
whose backbreaking work made the railroad possible, this
extraordinary narrative summons an astonishing array of voices to give
new dimension, not only to this monumental endeavor, but also to the
culture, political struggles, and social conflicts of an unforgettable period
in American history.
