Review
"The author of Atlantic America and Continental America gives us another extraordinary book, this one about the impact of the acquisition of a western empire upon the U.S. and how railways 'a space-conquering instrument of revolutionary possibilities' helped to reknit the nation, fractured by Civil War, back together again...In characteristically powerful prose, Meinig offers a major retelling of the nation's emergence to world power." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The doyen of North American historical geography, Meinig offers a distinctive interpretation that depends much on his literary skill, spatial imagination, and flair for profound simplification...[His] arguments are sustained by [numerous] maps and...illustrations, which act as didactic devices for Meinig's insightful analysis."

From the Back Cover
