"In America's historical imagination, toil and triumph against
nature and overwhelming odds characterizes such achievements as
the Erie Canal and the transcontinental railroad. Triumph
transformed canal and railroad entrepreneurs into visionaries
whose work brought the nation bountiful riches and did the
Lord's bidding. Celebrated for their spirit and perseverance in
'building' the nation's infrastructure, they found respect for looking to
tomorrow and creating a future. For generations, most indexes
of American history supported and reinforced this narrative of
progress. Yet, if this is the historical memory, it is
conveniently stunted. What of those whose bodies strained and
broke under the load of such glories? What of those men beyond
the din and fanfare who only appear in old photographs with
faces blurred and indistinguishable? In their lives and deaths
in the mud, muck, and mountains is another history of American
achievement. These barely visible and forgotten, ordinary men,
'unskilled' immigrants from Ireland and China, Mormons, and
native-born American workingmen rank, as well, as the creators
of national growth and progress. Their experiences and voices,
along with those of the privileged and well-connected, are the
subjects of this study. I examine the rise of Western canals
and railroads to national prominence through the menial labor
of countless men, largely hidden from view because they left
virtually no paper trail, who strung together livelihoods at
the economic fringes of society. This book examines the contest
for control of American progress and history as distilled from
the competing narratives of canal and railroad construction
workers and those fortunate enough to avoid this
fate"--Provided by publisher. Read

Explores the untold side of a well-known American story. This
book salvages stories often omitted from the triumphant
narrative of progress by focusing on the suffering and
survival of the workers who were treated as
outsiders. Read more...
