It encompasses the Civil War, Industrial Revolution, immigration, western expansion, compelling biographies, and the evolution of America’s self-identity. How to select and compress all this history into a forty-five minute performance for kids aged 5 to 18, and families, with only three actors and the stuff they can fit into a van? Our solution is to narrow the story down to a handful of individuals who represent the hundreds of thousands that conceived, planned, built, and exploited the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads. Some of the characters are actual historical personalities, or a composite of similar personalities. Others are fictional, inspired by real accounts of nameless workers. Our show will not be a complete chronology of events, which is readily available in books and on the internet. It is a mosaic of highlighted individual stories. Your students will meet a young veteran of the Union Army working for the Union Pacific as it lays track through the Midwest, a Chinese laborer handling explosives for the Central Pacific in the Sierras, and a Native American observing the end of a people’s way of life. There are also some fascinating glimpses of historical personalities such as President Lincoln and Theodore Judah. It culminates in a breathtaking race to the Golden Spike. ALL ABOARD!!

All Aboard Study Guide, P a g e | 5 Today, a railroad stretching across the United States seems like a no-brainer. But to many people, the building of a Transcontinental Railroad seemed an impossible feat. One man who believed it could be done was Theodore Judah. As Chief Engineer for the Central Pacific Railroad Company, “Crazy Judah” surveyed the lay of the land around the Sierra Nevada Mountains of the western United States. Convinced that building a railroad through these massive landforms was possible, Judah struck a business deal with some merchants from Sacramento who provided some money to get the project started. These men would come to be known as “The Big Four.” Theodore Judah tirelessly attempted to convince the United States government of the importance of such a railroad. Distracted by the ongoing Civil War, government officials were wary to take on such a project. Finally, on July 1st, 1862 Judah caught a lucky break. President Abraham Lincoln, whose first job was as a lawyer for a railroad company, signed the Pacific Railroad Act. The Union Pacific Railroad Company would build from the Missouri River and head west, while the Central Pacific would start in Sacramento and head east. Sadly, neither of the men would live to see the railroad completed. Theodore Judah died of Yellow Fever in November 1863 and Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865. All Aboard Study Guide, P a g e | 6 The Union Pacific began laying track in Omaha, Nebraska. The flat midwestern land was the perfect terrain to build a railroad, and work went smoothly for a while. But Native Americans of the area felt violated by this expansion into the west and began to react, sometimes violently. In response, the Union Pacific hired marksmen to shoot buffalo, the lifeblood for the Native Americans. Facing horrible weather conditions and impossibly high mountains, the Central Pacific hired Chinese laborers. These men worked through the obstacles and eventually developed a system for dealing with the steep cliffs of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Workers would be lowered down the cliff face in baskets and quickly raised to safety once explosives were set. It was dangerous work, and many lives were lost to this daring task. To the many Native American Tribes living on the plains of North America, construction of the Transcontinental Railroad brought about the end of a way of life. Every new mile of track brought settlers and businesses from the East, resulting in the Native Tribes being forced to step aside. The systematic destruction of the buffalo cemented the virtual extinction of these native peoples. All Aboard Study Guide, P a g e | 7 On May 10th, 1869 in Promontory Summit, Utah, the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific workers met to drive the final spike of the Transcontinental Railroad. California Governor Leland Stanford swung the hammer that drove the “Golden Spike” into its tie. This was perhaps the first ever “mass media” event, as a telegraph message reading simply “DONE” was sent to both coasts. It was the beginning of the modern age we know today. Before the completion of the railroad, travel from East to West took six months or more. The driving of the “Golden Spike” meant coast to coast travel was possible in under one week. All Aboard Study Guide, P a g e | 8 During the Civil War, Theodore Judah had an idea to build a railroad across America. Abraham Lincoln liked that idea, so he got two companies, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific to start laying track. The Union Pacific started at the Missouri River, and the Central Pacific started in Sacramento, California. The companies had special teams of workers to make way for the train tracks. The Grubbers used explosives and other tools to clear the route, and the Graders flattened the land. It was hard work, and the men had to watch out for buffalo and other wild animals. Soon after one Ten Mile Day, the companies met in Promontory Summit, Utah where a Golden Spike was hammered. It symbolized the completion of the track. Now a locomotive, powered by steam, could travel across the country in only a week! Railroading terms: Fishplates: metal plates which hold the tracks together. Spikes: large “nails” which secure the rails to the ties. Ties: wooden beams, set in the ground, on to which the rails are secured at a constant distance apart. Surveyors: workers who observe and measure the land, deciding where the rail road will be. Grubbers: workers who follow the surveyors, clearing out trees, rocks, and shrubs Graders: workers who follow the grubbers to smooth and level the ground. Gandy Dancers: workers who tamp down the ties so that they were level and secure in the dirt. Boomers: temporary workers who moved from job to job, following the “boom” towns. Dancing on the carpet: called into the supervisor's office because you did something wrong. Other Vocabulary: Ancient Rome/Julius Caesar: About 2000 years ago, the Roman Republic ruled Europe and the Mediterranean world. Julius Caesar (100 BC-44 BC) was a brilliant military leader and was its first Dictator, and later a Consul.

  • Transcontinental Railroad Transcript
    Page 1 Transcontinental Railroad Transcript Narrator: The first Transcontinental Railroad has been called the engineering marvel of the 19th century and a flat-out swindle; it opened new economies in the American West, while consuming vast quantities of its natural resources; it birthed one way of life on the Great Plains and destroyed another. In making the road, a young nation would display its capacity for boldness, ingenuity, and industry. It would also reveal its capacity for greed, graft, and mindless violence. New heroes of business and industry -- such as hardware dealer Collis P. Huntington and construction boss Jack Casement -- would make names for themselves. As would the engaging but rapacious scoundrel, Thomas C. Durant. Phil Roberts, Historian: These were bigger than life kinds of adventures that were going on out West. Here was, in essence, the railroad representing civilization moving into the wilderness. Fred Gamst, Anthropologist: It was just the feat that boggled the imagination -- that from Omaha and the Missouri River, they could build all the way to Sacramento and the Sacramento River with nothing in between these two early settlements. Wendell Huffman, Historian: The Transcontinental Railroad was the technological manifestation of Manifest Destiny. This was how we were going to make this all one country. Narrator: Even before construction began, the Transcontinental Railroad had precious freight to bear: the hopes and dreams of an entire nation. It hauled the promise of new wealth to the filthy rich, the landless poor, and everybody in between. As the road was built, Huntington, Page 2 Casement, and Durant would be joined by Congressmen, engineers, prostitutes, laborers, and Main Street merchants in a desperate race for the loot.

  • The Donner Pass RR Route Before Theodore Judah John C. Fremont's 3Rd Expedition in July of 1860, Theodore Judah, with the Assistance of Dr
    June, 2011 issue #34 The Donner Pass RR Route Before Theodore Judah John C. Fremont's 3rd Expedition In July of 1860, Theodore Judah, with the assistance of Dr. Daniel Strong of Dutch Flat, was searching for a feasible railroad route across the Sierra Nevada. Unbeknownst to Judah, fifteen years earlier, in 1845, 32-year-old Brevet Captain John Charles Frémont of the U. S. Topographical Corps had traveled that route a continuous grade climbing from Dutch Flat to Donner Pass. Frémont was leading his third western mapping expedition, one of the objects of which was to find a shorter, more direct route from the Missouri frontier to the Pacific. His third expedition route from Missouri was via Bent's Fort to Salt Lake, and from the southern end of the lake, directly west across the desert. This desert crossing was accomplished when the party arrived safely to water at Pilot Peak. (The route was back-tracked by Lansford Hastings later in the year and was appropriated as part of his infamous “Hastings Cut-off). Here Frémont divided his party, sending the bulk of the expedition north under Theodore Talbot guided by Joseph R. Walker to join the Humboldt River route. Meanwhile, with fifteen select men, Frémont crossed central Nevada to Walker Lake, the place agreed up for the two divisions to rendezvous. This was to explore the interior of Another that region defined by Frémont's previous circumnavigation of the Donner Summit Great Basin (Frémont's coinage), a Historical First geographical feature he first described and mapped in 1844 On his arrival at Walker Lake on November 24, Frémont wrote: "I was in the neighborhood of the passage which I had forced across it a year before see pg 5 [his epic winter crossing of Carson Pass in February 1844], and I had it on my mind.

  • The Impact of the Railroad: the Iron Horse and the Octopus
    The Impact of the Railroad: The Iron Horse and the Octopus The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 was a major event in California history. The iron horse linked California with the rest of the nation and ushered in an era of economic consolidation. The Californians who controlled this new technology became the wealthiest and most powerful men of their generation. The railroad also stirred intense controversy. It was denounced by its opponents as a grasping and greedy octopus. Early Transportation and Communication The admission of California to the union in 1850 linked the state politically with the rest of the nation, but California remained geographically isolated. Several early attempts were made to solve the problem of isolation. Stagecoaches carrying the overland mail began crossing the continent to California in 1858. Writer Mark Twain chronicled the plight of one group of hapless passengers who accompanied the west-bound mail. Among the more colorful stagecoach drivers in California was Charlotte Parkhurst, a tough character also known as "Cock-eyed Charley." The Pony Express began providing transcontinental mail service to California in 1860, but its impact was minimal. Perhaps the most ingenious attempt to solve the problem of California's isolation was the introduction of camel caravans across the deserts of the southwest. Meanwhile, river boats carried passengers and cargo on the inland rivers of the state. The wires of the telegraph established instant communication between California and the rest of the nation in 1861, but the larger challenge of providing a system of transcontinental transportation remained unmet. Overland Mail The United States Congress in 1857 passed the Overland California Mail Act.
