The Pacific Railroads and the Disappearance of the Frontier in America

<p>The Pacific Railroads and the Disappearance of the Frontier in America explores the profound impact of railroad expansion on the American West during the 19th century.

This historical account details the social economic and political consequences of this transformative era highlighting the displacement of indigenous populations the rise of new industries and the reshaping of American identity.
