Honestly don't know if I can be bothered to finish it. Spoiler alert: they finished the railway. Maybe the Mormons will make it more interesting.

Just picked this back up after months. "...it would be difficult to imagine anyone working more hours or harder than Reed [construction superintendent]". Stephen Ambrose seems not to understand the physical in physical labour, and spends relatively little time talking about the men who actually built the railroad.
