Sobre este artículo
8vo, pamphlet, later paper wrappers, two folding maps, 117, [2] pp. Minor foxing and browning, a bit of staining in the margins mostly, maps also have the staining in margins, but are in great condition otherwise; overall very good. The goal of this bill in the House of Representatives was to connect the Atlantic and Pacific with a railroad. Specifically, this undertaking was to construct a railroad and electric telegraph from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. Whitney seems to have played a critical role in this process, and started to work on the railroad project as early as 1841. The pamphlet contains a lot of information on early railroad issues, especially imports and exports.
