The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 In 1871, a tiny nation just four years old, with a population well below the 4 million mark, made a bold decision to build the world's longest railroad across empty country, much of it unexplored. This decision would change the lives of every man, woman, and child in Canada and alter the shape of the nation. Using primary sources such as diaries, letters, unpublished manuscripts, public documents, and newspapers, Pierre Berton has reconstructed the incredible decade of the 1870s when Canadians of every stripe, from contractors and politicians to financiers, surveyors, workingmen, journalists, and entrepreneurs, fought for or against the railway. The National Dream is above all else the story of people. It tells the tale of George McMullen, a brash young promoter who tried to blackmail the Prime Minister, Marcus Smith, a crusty surveyor who was suspicious of authority, and Sanford Fleming, the great engineer who invented Standard Time but couldn't make up his mind about the best route for the railway.
The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 В 1871 году крошечная нация, которой всего четыре года, с населением значительно ниже 4-миллионной отметки, приняла смелое решение построить самую длинную в мире железную дорогу через пустую страну, большая часть которой не исследована. Это решение изменит жизнь каждого мужчины, женщины и ребенка в Канаде и изменит форму нации. Используя первичные источники, такие как дневники, письма, неопубликованные рукописи, публичные документы и газеты, Пьер Бертон реконструировал невероятное десятилетие 1870-х годов, когда канадцы каждой полосы, от подрядчиков и политиков до финансистов, геодезистов, рабочих, журналистов и предпринимателей, боролись за или против железной дороги. «Национальная мечта» - это прежде всего история людей. В ней рассказывается о Джордже Макмаллене, дерзком молодом промоутере, который пытался шантажировать премьер-министра, Маркусе Смите, корявом геодезисте, который с подозрением относился к авторитету, и Сэнфорде Флеминге, великом инженере, который придумал «Стандартное время», но никак не мог определиться с лучшим маршрутом для железной дороги.
The National Dream : The Great Railway, 1871-1881 En 1871, une petite nation qui n'avait que quatre ans, avec une population bien inférieure aux 4 millions d'habitants, a pris la décision courageuse de construire le plus long chemin de fer du monde à travers un pays vide, dont la plupart n'ont pas été explorés. Cette décision changera la vie de chaque homme, femme et enfant au Canada et changera la forme de la nation. En utilisant des sources primaires comme des journaux, des lettres, des manuscrits non publiés, des documents publics et des journaux, Pierre Burton a reconstruit une incroyable décennie des années 1870, lorsque les Canadiens de tous bords, des entrepreneurs aux politiciens en passant par les financiers, les arpenteurs, les travailleurs, les journalistes et les entrepreneurs, se sont battus pour ou contre le chemin de fer. rêve national est avant tout l'histoire des gens. Elle parle de George McMullen, un jeune promoteur audacieux qui a essayé de faire chanter le Premier ministre, Marcus Smith, un arpenteur roux qui se méfiait de l'autorité, et Sanford Fleming, un grand ingénieur qui a inventé le Temps Standard, mais ne pouvait pas déterminer le meilleur itinéraire pour le chemin de fer.
The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 En 1871, una pequeña nación de apenas cuatro , con una población muy por debajo de los 4 millones de habitantes, tomó la audaz decisión de construir el ferrocarril más largo del mundo a través de un país vacío, gran parte del cual no ha sido explorado. Esta decisión cambiará la vida de cada hombre, mujer y niño en Canadá y cambiará la forma de la nación. Utilizando fuentes primarias como diarios, cartas, manuscritos inéditos, documentos públicos y periódicos, Pierre Burton reconstruyó la increíble década de 1870, cuando los canadienses de cada franja, desde contratistas y políticos hasta financistas, agrimensores, trabajadores, periodistas y empresarios, lucharon por o contra el ferrocarril. «sueño nacional» es sobre todo la historia de la gente. Cuenta la historia de George McMullen, un joven y atrevido promotor que intentó chantajear al primer ministro, Marcus Smith, un agrimensor corpulento que sospechaba de la autoridad, y Sanford Fleming, un gran ingeniero que acuñó «Standard Time», pero que no pudo decidir de ninguna manera la mejor ruta para el ferrocarril
The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 Em 1871, uma pequena nação de apenas quatro anos, muito abaixo da marca de 4 milhões de habitantes, tomou a corajosa decisão de construir a ferrovia mais longa do mundo através de um país vazio, cuja maior parte não foi explorada. Esta decisão vai mudar a vida de todos os homens, mulheres e crianças no Canadá e mudar a forma de nação. Usando fontes primárias, tais como diários, cartas, manuscritos não publicados, documentos públicos e jornais, Pierre Burton reconstruiu a incrível década de 1870, quando os canadianos de cada faixa, de empreiteiros e políticos a financiadores, geodésicos, trabalhadores, jornalistas e empresários, lutavam para ou contra a ferrovia. O Sonho Nacional é a história das pessoas. Fala de George McMallen, um jovem promotor impertinente que tentou chantagear o primeiro-ministro, Marcus Smith, um geodesista de raiz que suspeitava de autoridade, e Sanford Fleming, um grande engenheiro que inventou o'Tempo Padrão ", mas não podia decidir a melhor rota para o caminho de ferro.
The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 Nel 1871 una piccola nazione di soli quattro anni, con una popolazione ben al di sotto dei 4 milioni di abitanti, prese la coraggiosa decisione di costruire la ferrovia più lunga del mondo attraverso un paese vuoto, la maggior parte delle quali non è stata esplorata. Questa decisione cambierà la vita di ogni uomo, donna e bambino in Canada e cambierà la forma della nazione. Utilizzando fonti primarie come diari, lettere, manoscritti non pubblicati, documenti pubblici e giornali, Pierre Berton ricostruì l'incredibile decennio del 1870, quando i canadesi di ogni corsia, da appaltatori e politici a finanziatori, geodesisti, operai, giornalisti e imprenditori, combattevano per o contro la ferrovia. Il Sogno Nazionale è soprattutto la storia della gente. Parla di George McMallen, un giovane promotore impertinente che cercava di ricattare il primo ministro, Marcus Smith, un geodesista corrosivo che sospettava credibilità, e Sanford Fleming, un grande ingegnere che aveva inventato il Tempo Standard, ma che non riusciva a decidere il percorso migliore per la ferrovia.
The National Dream: The Great Railway, 1871-1881 1871 traf eine winzige Nation, die erst vier Jahre alt war und eine Bevölkerung weit unter der 4-Millionen-Marke hatte, die mutige Entscheidung, die längste Eisenbahn der Welt durch ein leeres Land zu bauen, von dem ein Großteil unerforscht ist. Diese Entscheidung wird das ben jedes Mannes, jeder Frau und jedes Kindes in Kanada verändern und die Form der Nation verändern. Mit Primärquellen wie Tagebüchern, Briefen, unveröffentlichten Manuskripten, öffentlichen Dokumenten und Zeitungen rekonstruierte Pierre Burton ein unglaubliches Jahrzehnt der 1870er Jahre, in dem Kanadier jeder Spur, von Auftragnehmern und Politikern bis hin zu Finanziers, Vermessungsingenieuren, Arbeitern, Journalisten und Unternehmern, für oder gegen die Eisenbahn kämpften. Der „nationale Traum“ ist vor allem eine Geschichte von Menschen. Es erzählt die Geschichte von George McMullen, einem wagemutigen jungen Promoter, der versuchte, den Premierminister zu erpressen, Marcus Smith, einem knorrigen Vermessungsingenieur, der der Behörde misstrauisch gegenüberstand, und Sanford Fleming, einem großartigen Ingenieur, der die Standardzeit erfand, sich aber nicht für die beste Route für die Bahn entscheiden konnte.
