Sinossi
In the wake of the Civil War, a nation divided by geography sought a path to unity. Across mountains, deserts, and endless plains, visionaries, engineers, and thousands of laborers embarked on one of the most ambitious feats of the 19th century: the construction of America’s first transcontinental railroad. Iron and Ambition delves deep into this monumental endeavor, revealing the human stories behind the steel rails, the ingenuity behind seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and the political and economic forces that shaped the nation’s destiny.
From the treacherous Sierra Nevada, where Chinese laborers risked life and limb to blast tunnels through solid granite, to the vast plains conquered by Irish immigrants facing isolation, disease, and storms, this book chronicles the relentless determination that made the impossible possible. Readers will witness daring engineering feats, fierce rivalries, and moments of innovation and improvisation that forever altered the American landscape.
More than a historical account, Iron and Ambition is a human saga of courage, endurance, and ambition—a story of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary efforts connected a continent. This is a tale of danger, invention, and unyielding vision, capturing the epic struggle to bind a nation with iron rails and unbreakable resolve.Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
