In historical reality, however, some Western « boosters» made it into the ranks of the national business elite. Thus the promoters of the Central Pacific Railroad, first a small, Sacramento-based railroad company, built the western branch of the first transcontinental railroad and became known as the California “Big Four”.

This dissertation titled When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 by LELAND K. WOOD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WOOD, LELAND K., Ph.D., August 2009, Journalism When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The dissertation documents public-relations practices of officers and managers in two companies: the Central Pacific Railroad with offices in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad with offices in New York City. It asserts that sophisticated and systematic corporate public relations were practiced during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, fifty years before historians generally place the beginning of such practice. Documentation of the transcontinental railroad practices was gathered utilizing existing historical presentations and a review of four archives containing correspondence and documents from the period. Those leading the two enterprises were compelled to practice public relations in order to raise $125 million needed to construct the 1,776-mile-long railroad by obtaining and keeping federal loan guarantees and by establishing and maintaining an image attractive to potential bond buyers.

  • Volume 3 Number 122 Belle Huntington
    Volume 3 Number 122 Belle Huntington - Part II Lead: Born of humble circumstances in Richmond, Arabella Yarrington Huntington in 1900 was considered by many to be the richest woman in the world. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: After helping to build the first transcontinental railroad, Collis Potter Huntington went south to explore investment opportunities. During his stays at a Richmond, Virginia boardinghouse, he fell in love with the daughter of the owner who also served as barmaid, Arabella. She was thirty years his junior but a vivacious and beautiful woman. She moved to New York, became his mistress, and bore him a son in 1870. Huntington still lived with his first wife but settled on Arabella and his son an increasingly lavish lifestyle. Often she traveled with him by private train to inspect his far-flung holdings, sometimes introduced as his niece. She was a quick study in languages and art history and developed a refined sense of taste. Arabella came to enjoy the luxuries Collis could pour out on her and when his ailing wife died, she married him in 1884. Presiding at the ceremony was the eminent Protestant pulpiteer, Henry Ward Beecher. No longer needing to hide, Arabella quickly took on the demeanor of American royalty. Collis acquired for her a Fifth Avenue townhouse, a Long Island estate, a palace on Nob Hill in San Francisco, and a retreat in the Adirondack Mountains. She began to demonstrate exuberant habits of acquisition. Guiding her son Archer and Collis' favorite nephew Henry Huntington, she accumulated a huge collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century paintings.
