You can feel the tightness of NEW.About the book: This isn't so much a history of the Northwestern Pacific as it is the more significant companies that became the NWP. And this history doesn't exist in a vacuum. Shady dealings, politics, court cases, and race riots all have left their mark in this book and it's quite sobering. I think a reader familiar with the building of the Transcontinental Railroad will have a better appreciation of this book (for example, the author assumes you know who the Big Four are from the very outset and later assumes at least a passing familiarity with Celestial and Irish laborers. While this book targets those interested in the events leading to the formation of the NWP, I would recommend it for anyone interested in late 19th Century US Railroad or California Political History.Book comes with Ferry and Rail Maps and detailed appendices of information galore for someone wanting to model this era and are untouched in this book.
