Ten Mile Day: And the Building of the Transcontinental Railroad
Mary Ann Fraser

Illustrated with the author’s carefully researched, evocative paintings, here is a great adventure story in the history of the American West–the day Charles Crocker staked $10,000 on the crews’ ability to lay a world record ten miles of track in a single, Ten Mile Day.
