Panama in 1855 an Account of the Panama Rail-Road, of the Cities of Panama and Aspinwall by Robert Tomes Pdf
Excerpt from Panama in 1855 an Account of the Panama Rail-Road, of the Cities of Panama and Aspinwall: With Sketches of Life and Character on the Isthmus This little book is a record of observations made during a short residence on the Isthmus of Panama, under circumstances very favorable for the acquisition of such information as it is thought the public desire to have. While the author has striven to make his book useful as a guide to the traveler, and instructive to those interested in the commercial development of the Isthmus, under the auspices of the Panama Railroad, he has endeavored to give a picturesque interest to his work which may render it acceptable to the general reader.

The Construction of the Panama Canal by William Luther Sibert Pdf
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV {construction or Gatun Dam The Gatun Dam has covered with rock and earth to a depth of one hundred feet the site of the old village of Gatun. This village, thus erased from the map, was located between the Chagres River and the old French canal. It had the appearance of having been there forever and of intending to remain there forever. It was ideally located for the transportation needs of its inhabitants; having streams on both sides of it which provided mooring places for the cayuco or "dugout," the only means of travel and transportation for the villagers along the waterways in the Republic of Panama. This village'had easy water connections with the valleys of the Chagres, Trinidad, and Gatun rivers to the south, and with Colon and Cristobal to the north. The great buccaneer, Morgan, afterwards Governor-General of Jamaica, passed through this place in 1671, on his way to capture old Panama. The same route was followed by the "Forty DEGREES. niners' on their way to the gold fields of California. In fact, prior to the completion of the Panama Railroad, in 1855, this village was in the direct line of many expeditionary forces traveling from our Atlantic to our Pacific shores, including one made by Lieutenant U. S. Grant. Two old cannons were found that had been placed in a position to defend this reach of river. Its inhabitants could see no reason for disturbing such an ideally located settlement, nor could they see why its site should be utilized for the construction of a dam, and were consequently loath to move their belongings to a new site selected along the Panama Railroad east of Gatun. After their property had been purchased and they had been assigned lots in the new village and offered cars on which to load the material...

The Panama Railroad by Peter Pyne Pdf
In 1848, a group of ambitious American entrepreneurs decided to embark upon a remarkable engineering feat—they would build a railroad across the Isthmus of Panama to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The creation of the Panama Railroad ranks as one the boldest capitalist ventures in the 19th century, and would require battling climate, disease, and geography before it was completed. On a human level, it would transform the destiny of thousands of lives in America, Panama, the West Indies, and Asia, as well as in Ireland. The Panama Railroad provides the first comprehensive account of the railroad's construction, going well beyond the known stories of the titans of industry involved with its construction, such as William Aspinwall, George Law, and Cornelius Vanderbilt. It seeks to correct false claims and address numerous gaps in past histories, and in particular showcases the stories of the ordinary Irish workers willing to travel halfway around the globe to pursue an uncertain future and a perilous undertaking in the hopes of escaping the devastating aftermath of the Great Famine of 1845–49.
