ISBN: 9780295987699

First printing, oversized cloth hardcover (8 1/2 by 10 approx.) shows just a touch of wear including a name and date at reverse of front endpaper, in near fine dust jacket that shows just a touch of wear as well. 229 pages nicely illustrated. Still a nice looking copy of this work that "..recounts the stories of visionaries such as Henry Harmon Spalding, Samuel Parker, and Asa Whitney, who imagined the railroad as a new Northwest Passage, an iron road through the West to the Orient."
