Steel Trails to Santa Fe is a historical account of the construction and operation of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which played a significant role in the development of the American West. The book is written by L.L. Waters, a former employee of the railway, and provides a detailed look at the challenges and triumphs of building a transcontinental railroad through rugged terrain and hostile territory. The book covers the early years of the railway, from its inception in the 1850s to the early 1900s, and includes information on the engineering, financing, and management of the project. The author also describes the impact of the railway on the communities it served, as well as the cultural and economic changes that accompanied its construction. Steel Trails to Santa Fe is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American transportation and the development of the West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
