Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''A Project For A Railroad To The Pacific'' is a book written by Asa Whitney in 1849. The book presents a detailed plan for the construction of a transcontinental railroad from the eastern coast of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. Whitney, a businessman and entrepreneur, was a strong advocate for the construction of a railroad that would connect the two coasts of the country, and he spent several years lobbying the government and private investors to support his vision. In the book, Whitney provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic, political, and social benefits that a transcontinental railroad would bring to the United States. He argues that such a railroad would open up new markets for American goods, facilitate the settlement of the western territories, and strengthen the country's national unity. Whitney also provides detailed information on the proposed route of the railroad, including the topography, climate, and natural resources of the regions it would pass through.Overall, ''A Project For A Railroad To The Pacific'' is an important historical document that sheds light on the early efforts to build a transcontinental railroad in the United States. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American transportation and infrastructure development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work. …
