Více o knize

The Cowboy Line played a pivotal role in shaping Nebraska's development over 125 years, spanning over 400 miles. Beginning construction in 1869, it facilitated the establishment and relocation of towns along its route. The rail line was crucial during the late 1800s gold rush, transporting miners to the Black Hills and bringing thousands of Irish and German immigrants to the region. Additionally, it served as a vital link for politicians, delivering essential goods, entertainment, technology, and innovations to the local population.
