The United States, 1849 to 1916. Four men build the networks the country afterward forgets it is standing on. Cornelius Vanderbilt moves from harbor ferries to ocean routes to the trunk line into New York. Jay Gould takes the railroads apart from the inside and buys the wires that price them. James J. Hill drives a line across the northern plains with a land grant he did not get from Congress, and it is the one that does not fail in 1893. Henry Flagler lays rail down a coast with almost nobody on it and invents the reason to go. Each of them is told the thing cannot be built, cannot be paid for, and cannot be filled. The book is about the interval between the doubt and the invisibility. Covers Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, James J. Hill, Henry Flagler, New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, Erie, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Western Union, and Standard Oil.
