The Last Spike: The Great Railway, 1881-1885 In the four years between 1881 and 1885, Canada was transformed into a single nation through the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This incredible feat was accomplished in just five years, exactly half the time stipulated in the contract. Pierre Berton masterfully recreates the adventures that were part of this vast undertaking, from the railway on the brink of bankruptcy with only one hour between it and ruin, to the extraordinary land boom in Winnipeg in 1881-1882, and the epic tale of how William Van Horne rushed 3000 soldiers over a half-finished railway to quell the Riel Rebellion. At the heart of this story are the men who made it all possible - a cast of astonishing characters, each with their own unique personality and drive.
The t Spike: The Great Railway, 1881-1885 За четыре года между 1881 и 1885 годами Канада была преобразована в единую нацию благодаря строительству Канадской тихоокеанской железной дороги. Этот невероятный подвиг был совершен всего за пять лет, ровно вдвое меньше предусмотренного контрактом времени. Пьер Бертон мастерски воссоздает приключения, которые были частью этого огромного начинания, от железной дороги на грани банкротства с всего одним часом между ней и разорением, до необычайного сухопутного бума в Виннипеге в 1881 - 1882 годах, и эпической истории о том, как Уильям Ван Хорн бросил 3000 солдат по полуготовой железной дороге, чтобы подавить восстание Рила. В основе этой истории мужчины, которые сделали все это возможным - слепок удивительных персонажей, каждый со своей уникальной индивидуальностью и драйвом.
