AND WITHAL A TRUE-HEARTED GENTLEMAN AND DEVOTED FRIEND— THIS VOLUME IS HUMBLY DEDICATED PREFACE The Santa Fe Railroad added an industrial empire to the United States. It has been mainly responsible for the colon- izing, development, and permanent occupancy of the greater portion of that vast region included within the present limits of Kansas, Southern Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and much of California. As is perhaps commonly known, the Santa Fe System ranks with the foremost of the transcontinental railroads, which lines have made possible the occupation and the reten- tion of the entire great West. For without the efficient and rapid transportation which these splendid railways have pro- vided, it is hardly conceivable that this Union of States as we know it could exist.
