{"product_id":"laramie-railroads-lawrence-ostresh-9781467130837","title":"Laramie Railroads","description":"On July 1, 1862, President Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act. This act created the Union Pacific Railroad and authorized government loans and land grants to aid in the construction of the nation's first transcontinental railroad, which would connect Omaha, Nebraska, to Sacramento, California. As the Union Pacific raced west across prairies, mountains, and basins in 1867 and 1868, the Territory of Wyoming and many of its southern towns and cities were founded, including Laramie. In 1869, the Union Pacific met the Central Pacific at Promontory Summit, Utah, and the transcontinental railroad was complete. This is the story of the railroads of Laramie, a fabled place along the Union Pacific's Overland Route.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Ostresh, Jerry Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467130834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467130837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Lawrence Ostresh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936114344191,"sku":"9781467130837","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_05dc75e6-0f66-4a4c-af7e-549dccc07ce1.jpg?v=1681423670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laramie-railroads-lawrence-ostresh-9781467130837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
