THE ENGINEER. 



(Running the line with a transit on the Plains.) 



THIS book, which follows " The Story of the Cowboy " in this series, pictures the buiiding 

 of the earlier transcontinental lines across the true West. It tells the story of the engi- 

 neer who found the way, and who was the pioneer of permanent civilization among- the 

 Indians and buffalo of the Plains and in the mountains. Historically the book is valuable be- 

 cause it gives a comprehensive sketch of a great subject in a brief compass, and furthermore, 

 the strange and picturesque phases of life which are depicted are full of immediate interest. 

 An actual war, now forgotten, for the possession of a canon in Colorado is vividly described 

 by the author, who has shared in the work of railroad men in the West, and who made a special 

 journey through the West to gather fresh material for his valuable and entertaining book.
