Iron Horses: America's Race to Bring the Railroads WestA "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals. After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on.

A "masterly" account of the origins of the transcontinental railroad (Douglas Brinkley) by the author of the bestselling The Admirals.After the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, the rest of the United States was up for grabs, and the race was on. The prize: a better, shorter, less snowy route through the American Southwest, linking Los Angeles to Chicago. In Iron Horses, Borneman recounts the rivalries, contested routes, political posturing, and business dealings that unfolded as an increasing number of lines pushed their way across the country. Borneman brings to life the legendary robber barons behind it all and also captures the herculean efforts required to construct these roads -- the laborers who did the back-breaking work, the brakemen who ran atop moving cars, the tracklayers crushed and killed by runaway trains. From backroom deals in Washington, DC, to armed robberies of trains in the wild deserts, from cattle cars to streamliners and Super Chiefs, all the great incidents and innovations of a mighty American era are made vivid in Iron Horses.

Didn't stand a chance.
Size: One Size, Color: Georgia Bulldogs
I didn't know what to expect from this dog toy. I really just wanted a football style toy that we could play with our puppy with, especially during the NFL and college season. We had the toy for one week. I don't know if the toy is poorly made or if my puppy is just a master at destroying everything he puts in his mouth. In any case the first day the rope was ripped from the ball. The next day all the stuffing was all over the living room. The third day he broke the squeaker. By the end of the week the toy was missing most of the rope and what was left was frayed and way shorter than when we first got it, the football itself was flatter than Tom Brady's from deflate gate and just looked like this sad little piece of cloth and resembled something that had been abused for years. I will say he did really enjoy playing fetch with it for the short time he had it. Don't think I'll be buying another. Can't stand to see another toy get abused like this one.

Lasted Less Than Two Days
Size: One Size, Color: Tennessee Volunteers
This is a terrible quality toy! In only two days the seams were busting open and stuffing was all over there house. This was purely a fetch and recover toy. There was not tugging, chewing, or pulling. I am so sad for my dog. He was loving this toy, but because of horrible material and quality it 48 hour tenure has landed it right in the trash. "Tough quality..." do not waste your money. I would give this zero stars if I could.

Puppies love it!!!
Color: Michigan Wolverines
I’m so happy with this dog toy! It’s the perfect way to show off my team pride while keeping my puppies entertained. The toy is durable and holds up to lots of chewing and tugging. The Michigan Wolverines logo looks great and it's the perfect size for my pups to grip and play with. GO BLUE!!!
