A Project For A Railroad To The Pacific is a book written by Asa Whitney in 1849. The book presents a plan for the construction of a transcontinental railroad that would connect the eastern United States to the Pacific coast. Whitney's proposal includes a detailed description of the route, the cost of construction, and the potential economic benefits of the railroad. The book also includes maps and illustrations to help readers visualize the proposed route. Whitney's project was considered visionary at the time, and his ideas played a significant role in the eventual construction of the transcontinental railroad. The book is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the early days of American railroads and the country's westward expansion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
