" The story of the railroad of the West is here in all its aspects, with all its wondrous wealth of results, the 

 magnitude of what it achieved ; and the engineer is here too, the man who triumphed over insurmountable 

 difficulties — the keystone of the building of the West. The book is full of the life and anecdote of the construc- 

 tion camp and the railroad yard, and of life on mountain, stream, and plain. Himself a railroad man for many 

 years, Mr. YVarman has felt and reproduced our common humanity in all these busy workers. . . . He has 

 succeeded in a most difficult task; while giving a clear, economic history of the transcontinental railroads, he 

 has managed with equal skill to make the human element predominate in his pages."— The Critic.
