The book Appeal To The California Delegation In Congress Upon The Goat Island Grant To The Central Pacific Railroad Company by J.C. Merrill is a historic document that details the controversy surrounding the granting of Goat Island to the Central Pacific Railroad Company in California. The author argues that the granting of the island to the railroad company would be detrimental to the public interest, as it would limit access to the island for recreational purposes and hinder the development of the surrounding area. Merrill also provides evidence to support his claim that the Central Pacific Railroad Company has a history of misusing public lands for their own benefit. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of land use and public policy in California.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
