Hear that lonesome whistle blow : railroads in the West / by Dee Brown.

With hard-and supercover

Maps on lining papers

Cont.: The iron horse comes to the waters of the mighty Mississippi -- With the wings of the wind -- War slows the march to the western sea -- Drill, ye tarriers, drill, while the owners take the plunder -- The era of the cowboy is born -- The great race -- First travelers on the transcontinental -- Railroaders west -- Exit the land grabbers, enter the stock manipulators -- Sitting Bull and the northern route -- Elegance on the western rails -- The immigrant -- Trampling the frontier -- The iron horse assumes a devil image.
