Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the debts owed by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies to the United States government. The author provides a historical overview of the loans made to these companies to aid in the construction of the first transcontinental railroads and examines the financial troubles that led to the government assuming control of the companies. The author then discusses the efforts made by the government to recover the money owed to it, including the appointment of a commission to negotiate a settlement with the railroad companies. Ultimately, foreclosure and government operation are deemed necessary. Through its deep dive into the complexities of the railroad debts and the legal battles that ensued, this book sheds light on the challenges faced by the United States in promoting economic development through infrastructure projects.
