- catalog abstract ""Beginning in 1862 as a small carrier connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis with outlying towns, the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad became the foundation of the vast rail system that would open the entire Northwest." "Written by leading railroad historian Augustus J. Veenendaal, Jr., this book examines the growth of the fledgling Saint Paul & Pacific as it struggled to lay track, meet the schedule, and make the payroll. The railway's leaders and workers took risks of injury and ruin during these years on the frontier, when everything except hardship was in short supply." "Enhanced by scores of rare photographs, this story of rails and steam portrays the men, the machines, and the enterprising business deals that built the early carrier. A study in American perseverance at its best, The Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad will appeal to all who are interested in Minnesota and the Northwest, business history, and the saga of railroading."--Jacket.".
