Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical record of the construction of Canada's Transcontinental Railway. It is a record of design, financing, geological surveys, and construction. The book also details the negative aspects of the project's management as seen by its political opponents, and its impact on indigenous peoples. Not only does the book provide examinations of contract disputes, payoffs, and overspending, but it also looks at the difficulties encountered by laborers and the political implications of patronage and regional development. The author posits that the project was mired in delays, problems, and financial difficulties from its inception but also argues that the insights gained from the building of the railway contributed to improved railway design and construction in the years that followed.
