    Transcontinental Railroad Fact Sheet Prior to the opening of the transcontinental railroad, it took four to six months to travel 2000 miles from the Missouri River to California by wagon. January 1863 – Central Pacific Railroad breaks ground on its portion of the railroad at Sacramento, California; the first rail is laid in October 1863. December 1863 – Union Pacific Railroad breaks ground on its portion of the railroad in Omaha, Nebraska; due to the Civil War, the first rail is not laid until July 1865. April 1868 – the Union Pacific reaches its highest altitude 8,242 feet above sea level at Sherman Pass, Wyoming. April 28, 1869 – a record of 10 miles of track were laid in a single day by the Central Pacific crews. May 10, 1869 – the last rail is laid in the Golden Spike Ceremony at Promontory Point, Utah. Total miles of track laid 1,776: 690 miles by the Central Pacific and 1086 by the Union Pacific. The Central Pacific Railroad blasted a total of 15 tunnels through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It took Chinese workers on the Central Pacific fifteen months to drill and blast through 1,659 ft of rock to complete the Summit Tunnel at Donner Pass in Sierra Nevada Mountains. Summit Tunnel is the highest point on the Central Pacific track. The Central Pacific built 40 miles of snow sheds to keep blizzards from blocking the tracks. To meet their manpower needs, both railroads employed immigrants to lay the track and blast the tunnels. The Central Pacific hired more than 13,000 Chinese laborers and Union Pacific employed 8,000 Irish, German, and Italian laborers.

REGULATION IN THE LIVESTOCK TRADE: THE ORIGINS AND OPERATIONS OF THE KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE 1886-1921 Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 1286885 C Y R0 I GP H T by o. James Hazlett May, 1987 PREFACE This dissertation is a business history of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, and a study of regulation in the American West. Historians generally understand the economic growth of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the business institutions created during that era, within the perspective of "progressive" history. According to that view, Americans shifted from a public policy of laissez faire economics to one of state regulation around the turn of the century. More recently, historians have questioned the nature of regulation in American society, and this study extends that discussion into the livestock industry of the American West. 1 This dissertation relied heavily upon the minutes of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. Other sources were also important, especially the minutes of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, which made possible a comparison of the two exchanges. Critical to understanding the role of the Exchange but unavailable in Kansas City, financial data was 1Morton Keller, "The Pluralist State: American Economic Regulation in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1930," in Thomas K.

Omaha, 19^8 S- 2 0 - 0 2 f / h es 15 /* 2 2 V / % > 0 fklZb C . 2 Thesis Approved Preface International expositions have received relatively little attention from scholars in the past. Nevertheless, expositions are illustrative of man’s progress and development. There is hardly a more striking example of this fact than the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition held at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. * Since the frontier had been pronounced as closed only a few years before, it was fitting that the trans-Mississippi region display its wealth as well as its capabilities. Omaha was fortunate to be the host city for an exposition that symbolized the progress of the West. The city benefited greatly, being infused with an economic and spiritual uplift at a most opportune time. The primary objective of this thesis is to present a comprehensive description of the Trans- Mississippi Exposition, In doing so, however, I will also analyze its success and attempt to place it in its historical perspective. Many people aided me in the realization of this endeavor. Two of them deserve more thanks than my I MEMORIAL UBRART Cmfhtwi University Omaha, Nebraska vl mere expression of the word, can convey. My thesis advisor. Reverend Robert J. Shanahan, S.J., was most enlightening and patient in his direction. My indebtedness to him goes beyond this thesis, for he has been an inspiration during my entire graduate program at Creighton.

  • Durham Gets “In Focus” Ortraits Are, Literally and Figuratively, Reflections of Ourselves, and the Memorable Ones Have a Psimple, Yet Profound Universal Appeal
    OMAHA’S HOME TO HISTORY “The Enemy Within” Explores Terror on American Soil any American citizens either don’t remember or don’t know that September 11th was not the first Mtime Americans were threatened on their own soil. Americans have known and dealt with acts of terror since the founding days of the Republic and will continue to face those challenges in years ahead. Reminding Americans of this fact is the Durham Western Heritage Museum’s latest exhibit, The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today - a creation of Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum™. From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism, The Enemy Within provides unprecedented perspective into terror on American soil. Uncovering the forgotten stories of domestic terrorists, foreign agents, militant radicals, and saboteurs who have threatened America’s sense of security, the exhibit explores key questions: How do we identify who the enemy is? And how do we keep America safe without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded? Organized by Evergreen Exhibitions, The Enemy Within is divided into nine major themes: the country’s first hundred years, anarchist violence, labor movements, the Ku Klux Klan, world wars, communism, political violence, social violence, and security changes in a post-9/11 world. Each themed environment allows viewers to witness first-hand the terror and reactions of the government and public with the help of interactive displays, guest polling, artifacts, historical photos and film footage, video displays, and a timeline covering 170 acts of terror in America. The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today will be on display at the Durham Western Heritage Museum from September 8, 2007, to January 6, 2008.
