The West the railroads made by
Carlos A Schwantes(
Book
)
6 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 457 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The West the Railroads Made 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. As the idea of a Pacific Railroad grew in the 1840s and 1850s, many Americans imagined the West as a fertile garden or a treasure chest of priceless minerals. Railroads could deliver the riches of that West into the hands and pockets of the modern world. These two compelling ideas - the railroad and the West- came together to create an irresistible dream. Filled with contemporary accounts, illustrations, and photographs, The West the Railroads Made offers a fresh look at what the iron road created."--BOOK JACKET

Going places : transportation redefines the twentieth-century West by
Carlos A Schwantes(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2003 in English and held by 432 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Going Places looks at the three major ways in which transportation has shaped the great Western landscape. There are the transformations brought about by a railroad right-of-way, highway corridors, waterways, and airports; and the larger impacts of transportation on the landscape, such as the development that followed the iron rails westward. Finally, Schwantes considers how travelers experience the passing landscape as framed by the windows of automobiles, passenger trains, and jetliners, and what that may mean. He examines the various interconnections between railroad, highway, aviation, and waterways history, and between society and modes of transportation. This narrative travels the length and breadth of a vast space, with anecdotes and telling details that bring the story to life. Nearly 100 carefully selected photographs add to the reader's enjoyment."--BOOK JACKET

Carlos A Schwantes(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 164 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In this book Carlos Schwantes takes readers on a voyage of discovery along the "Great River of the West" - the grand Columbia River. Schwantes summarizes the history of the Columbia from its "discovery" in 1792 by the American merchant captain Robert Gray to the modern era of massive dams that create a water highway for commerce extending as far inland as Lewiston, Idaho, a city located more than seven hundred feet above sea level. Readers will enjoy pondering the different eras that defined the river during the past two centuries - from the age of "discovery" in the late 1700s to the contemporary Columbia landscapes that so we modern travelers aboard cruise boats. Accounts of Native Americans, explorers, miners, immigrants, engineers, fishers, and tourists are woven together to form a lively tapestry." "Published in conjunction with the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria, Columbia River: Gateway to the West makes a significant contribution to the saga of the Pacific Northwest by viewing its main currents in terms of one of the great waterways of American history."--BOOK JACKET
