Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Trails, Rails and War; The Life of General G. M. Dodge' is a comprehensive biography of one of the most versatile and influential figures in nineteenth-century American history. Grenville Mellen Dodge was a man whose career defined an era, serving as a prominent Union General during the Civil War and subsequently as the visionary chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad. This work meticulously details Dodge's dual legacy as both a master of military logistics and a pioneer of industrial progress.The narrative explores Dodge's close relationships with figures like Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and William T. Sherman, highlighting his critical role in military intelligence and bridge construction that sustained the Union effort. Following the war, the focus shifts to the monumental task of building the first Transcontinental Railroad. The text provides a gripping account of the engineering marvels, political hurdles, and raw physical challenges faced while connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This volume stands as a definitive historical account of a leader who transitioned from the battlefields of the Civil War to the frontiers of the American West, providing essential reading for those interested in military strategy, the history of transportation, and the development of the American nation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
