FROM THE ATLANTIC SURF TO THE GOLDEN GATE. FIRST TRIP ON THE GREAT PACIFIC RAILROAD. TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS AMONG THE MORMONS.... One of the first published narratives of transcontinental railroading. The author was in Utah at the time of the laying of the last rail, but he was in Salt Lake City ogling the Mormons instead of watching the ceremony. His party, in tow of a Central Pacific director, went on to California.
